To celebrate the progress made in the recent months a top-out event was held on 18 December 2019 \u2013 a traditional German ceremony when the construction of a building has reached its highest point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EMBL invited the companies involved in the construction as well as EMBL staff in Heidelberg to a classic German top-out event with Chilli, sausages, soft drinks beer and Gl\u00fchwein. The event provided EMBL the opportunity to thank the construction workers on site for their efforts in the last months and to wish them all the best for the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Richtfest-2019-005-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Construction workers and EMBL staff attending the ceremony.<br \/>Credit: Kinga Lubowiecka\/EMBL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Imaging Centre, designed by gerstner+hofmeister Architekten, will be open to visiting researchers from all over the world. This way EMBL\u2019s expertise in imaging technologies and data analysis will pass on to other locations, promoting scientific discovery in EMBL\u2019s member states and beyond. As such, the EMBL Imaging Centre will function as a training facility for the most advanced imaging technologies. An interactive exhibition is also planned for the EMBL Imaging Centre, which will be housed in the openly accessible part of the building, allowing the public to get insights into life sciences and the power of imaging technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/events\/foundation-stone-laid-for-embl-imaging-centre\/\">foundation stone of the building was laid on 1 April 2019<\/a> and it is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2020.
