In September 2000 the former Working Party on Education transformed itself into the Task Group on Education. In March 2003 the name of the Task Group on Education was changed in "Education and Mobility" to reflect a wider scope of interest that also mirrors the interests of the European Commission.

The EFB Task Group on Education and Mobility is composed of some forty senior scientists committed to higher education from a whole range of biotechnology-related scientific and technological disciplines and representing all EU member states. Its main aim is to promote higher level education and training in biotechnology through various internal and external networking activities.

The Task Group has arranged various courses and workshops and also played a key role in developing a variety of European biotechnology education initiatives. This has included the Code of Conduct for Biotechnologists, the European Doctorate in Biotechnology and Professional accreditation for biotechnologists.
