The Library was opened on the 20th November 1979 and it is named after the Hungarian-American scientist Leo Szilárd, who in part initiated the idea of EMBL.
Despite the partial reopening of EMBL Heidelberg, the Szilárd Library will remain closed for the time being. In order to access our physical collection, please email library@embl.de. We will do our best to arrange a safe way for our users to access the library's on-site resources.
We received twelve wonderfully creative submissions for the #EMBLKids drawing competition. Based on jury votes, we present to you the three winning artists: Julia, Maximos, and Esha!
