The Szilárd Library supports EMBL researchers and staff at all six sites
As we stepped into 2026, the Szilárd Library team continues to making scientific information more accessible, open, and engaging for researchers and staff across all EMBL sites. Read on for a snapshot of what’s new and what’s coming.
March 2026: International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Sir John Kendrew’s birth anniversary and more
February celebrates women in science, recognising an impact of women in all fields and and we commemorate the anniversary of Leo Szilard, a visionary scientist. Find these and more books in the cafeteria and in the Szilard Library.
