EIROforum’s Directors-General (DG) Assemblies take place twice a year. The spring Assembly is usually held in Brussels, Belgium, and includes high-level meetings with the European Commission to discuss science policy issues. In autumn, the Council convenes at one of the member organisations’ sites.

The last DG meeting was held in February 2026 in Heidelberg under the presidency of Prof. Ewan Birney, EMBL Interim Director General.
