The EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC) turned 10 on 9 March! This astonishing building has been an ideal venue to train scientists, foster networking events and has been the starting place for many fruitful collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATC\u2019s architecture is inspired by the DNA\u2019s double helix, and as soon as you step inside, you\u2019ll want to snap a few shots (#EMBLatc #justsaying \ud83d\ude09). Finding your way around the building can be a bit tricky<\/span>! \u2014 to be honest after two years I still get lost sometimes. The easiest way to get to your destination is to walk up and down the helices, where the poster sessions of our events are usually held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like relaxing with a coffee and a great view, the ATC Rooftop Lounge is the answer with the beautiful scenery of the Rhine Valley. You may even get lucky and enjoy an evening up there with jazz and drinks\u2014 the night lights make for an incredibly chill atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
