Abstract: In this paper, we prove that every confomal minimal immersion of an open Riemann surface into $mathbb{R}^n$ for $nge5$ can be approximated uniformly on compacts by conformal minimal embeddings. Furthermore, we show that every open Riemann surface carries a proper conformal minimal embedding into $mathbb{R}^5$. One of our main tools is a Mergelyan approximation theorem for conformal minimal immersions to $mathbb{R}^n$ for any $nge3$ which is also proved in the paper.
