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.
EMBL librarians visited the library of Heidelberg University Hospital Center for Child and Adolescent Medicine and handed over a generous donation from EMBL staff, collected on the book flea market during the celebration of reopening of the Szilárd Library.
The library will be closed from 11:30 to 13:30 due to a special event in meeting room B28. However, extra workspaces have been booked for users to utilize during this time.
Library is hosting this unique SEPE workshop at EMBL Heidelberg for the first time. We invite everybody to join us and with the coffee and cake also to discover more "Green" resources from our collection.
