For 50 years, EMBL has embraced the belief that curiosity and a thirst for knowledge are the driving forces behind groundbreaking discoveries that benefit both humanity and the planet. When we share this knowledge and enthusiasm for scientific pursuits with the next generation, the architects of tomorrow\u2019s world, we seed a future of scientific progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\n Recognising philanthropic support <\/h3>\n

For five decades, EMBL has thrived as a global hub for cutting-edge molecular biology research, training, and services. Open collaboration has been and continues to be at the very heart of our achievements, illustrated through a rich tapestry of partnerships woven with like-minded institutions and individuals.

\r\nWith our \u201812 moments of philanthropy\u2019 series during our 50th anniversary year, we want to express our deep gratitude towards individuals, foundations, and other supporters who have made a difference to EMBL through their vision and generosity. Each gift \u2013 whether small or large in financial terms \u2013 has helped advance science and nurture the scientists of the future in exemplary ways, illuminating the power of giving.

\r\nThe 11th moment of philanthropy illustrates how private funding laid the foundation for a unique permanent exhibition that shares the fascination of science with the lay public \u2013 particularly the next generation. EMBL created an interactive exhibition with its World of Molecular Biology, making the fascinating world of molecular biology accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n\n

In 2015, when EMBL decided to establish the Imaging Centre<\/a>, a long-held dream began to take shape: to create a space for science to spring to life for a wide range of audiences. People of all ages would experience and understand the fascinating processes of life at molecular and cellular levels, learning how life sciences research safeguards both our health and that of our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, this led to the bold vision to create an interactive exhibition<\/a> that incorporates dramatic visuals and some of the latest technologies used to communicate science to the general public, such as interactive gaming and virtual reality headsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018 began an intense, creative phase that incorporated ideas from over 60 EMBL groups. The outline for this discovery space started to take form, where visitors could explore a wide range of activities organised into three thematic sections and make use of the EMBL Imaging Centre\u2019s two levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a bold vision could only become reality with partners committed to supporting scientific education. The H.W. & J. Hector Foundation embraced the initiative in the project\u2019s early stages by providing generous core funding for numerous exhibition elements and sparking a wave of further private and public support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. h.c. Hans-Werner Hector said: \u201cResearch in a wide variety of areas influences all of our lives. We are very pleased that we can contribute to making biological processes and structure more transparent and better understood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the City of Heidelberg provided generous funding. The foundation Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung specifically enabled the section of the exhibition dedicated to modern imaging technologies. Long-time EMBL partners, such as Manfred Fuchs and the Rudolf Fuchs GmbH & Co. KG, the Sparkasse Heidelberg Foundation, the EMBL Endowment Foundation, and the Friends of EMBL, eagerly joined in. For each one of them, this was a unifying project to foster dialogue around the life sciences and inspire visitors with what would ultimately be called The World of Molecular Biology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition opened in mid-2023. Since then, EMBL\u2019s Science Education and Public Engagement (SEPE<\/a>) team offers free guided tours of the interactive exhibition to school groups aged 14 and above, as well as any interested visitor who registers via a dedicated website<\/a>. Touchscreens, joysticks, and virtual reality headsets bring to life a wide range of molecular biology research, thereby sharing information, impacts, and even the beauty of this scientific discipline. Additionally, workshops and supplementary educational materials make technical topics more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, over 2,000 people, including nearly 1,000 school children, have been inspired by the tours and workshops that provide deeper insights into a world of molecular biology. Many students have expressed interest in doing internships at EMBL after visiting the exhibition, and others have even reported that the experience sparked their interest in studying biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The programme is so inspiring!\u201d remarked a teacher from the Heidelberg school Marie-Baum-Schule. \u201cIt sparks students’ curiosity to learn more about molecular biology.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eDie Welt der Molekularbiologie\u201c<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Lebenswissenschaften f\u00fcr alle \u2013 Ein Geschenk an die Zukunft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Seit 50 Jahren lebt das EMBL die \u00dcberzeugung, dass Wissensdurst und Neugierde der Motor f\u00fcr neue Entdeckungen zum Wohle der Menschheit und des Planeten sind. Wenn wir Wissen und unsere Begeisterung f\u00fcr Wissenschaft mit der n\u00e4chsten Generation \u2013 den Gestaltern von morgen \u2013 teilen, legen wir den Grundstein f\u00fcr wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\n Dank an unsere F\u00f6rderer <\/h3>\n

Seit f\u00fcnf Jahrzehnten hat sich das EMBL als globales Zentrum f\u00fcr molekularbiologische Spitzenforschung, Services und Dienstleistungen etabliert. Offene Zusammenarbeit und Forschung war und ist das Herzst\u00fcck unserer Errungenschaften, die sich in einem reichen Netz von Partnerschaften mit gleichgesinnten Institutionen und Einzelpersonen widerspiegeln.\r\n

\r\n\r\nMit unserer Reihe \u201e12 Momente der Philanthropie\u201c im Jahr unseres 50-j\u00e4hrigen Bestehens m\u00f6chten wir Einzelpersonen, Stiftungen und anderen Unterst\u00fctzenden, die durch ihre Vision und Gro\u00dfz\u00fcgigkeit einen Unterschied f\u00fcr das EMBL gemacht haben, unsere tiefe Dankbarkeit ausdr\u00fccken. Jede Spende – ob klein oder gro\u00df – hat dazu beigetragen, die Wissenschaft voranzubringen und die Wissenschaftler:innen der Zukunft auf inspirierende Weise zu f\u00f6rdern und die Kraft des Gebens zu verk\u00f6rpern.\r\n

\r\n\r\nDer elfte Moment der Philanthropie zeigt, wie private F\u00f6rderung den Grundstein f\u00fcr eine einzigartige Dauerausstellung legt, die die Faszination f\u00fcr Wissenschaft mit der breiten \u00d6ffentlichkeit und insbesondere der n\u00e4chsten Generation teilt. Mit \u201eDer Welt der Molekularbiologie\u201c wurde am EMBL eine interaktive Ausstellung geschaffen, die die faszinierende Welt der Molekularbiologie f\u00fcr alle zug\u00e4nglich macht. \r\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/article>\n\n\n\n\n

Als das EMBL 2015 beschloss, mit dem Imaging Centre<\/a> einen internationalen Leuchtturm f\u00fcr Bildgebungstechnologie zu errichten, nahm ein lang gehegter Traum Gestalt an: Es sollte ein Ort geschaffen werden, der die Wissenschaft lebendig und zug\u00e4nglich macht. Ein Ort, an dem Menschen jeden Alters die faszinierenden Abl\u00e4ufe des Lebens auf molekularer Ebene erleben und verstehen, wie lebenswissenschaftliche Forschung unsere Gesundheit und die unseres Planeten sch\u00fctzt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daraus entstand die mutige Vision, eine interaktive Ausstellung<\/a> zu schaffen, die fesselnde visuelle Eindr\u00fccke mit modernen Technologien kombiniert, um Wissenschaft der breiten \u00d6ffentlichkeit n\u00e4herzubringen \u2013 wie zum Beispiel durch interaktive Spiele und Virtual-Reality-Brillen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2018 begann eine intensive, kreative Phase, und Ideen von mehr als 60 EMBL-Gruppen wurden gesammelt. Das Bild eines Entdeckungsraums nahm Gestalt an, in dem Besucher:innen eine Vielzahl von Aktivit\u00e4ten erkunden k\u00f6nnen und die in drei thematische Bereiche gegliedert auf den zwei Ebenen des EMBL Imaging Centre verteilt werden. Eine solche Vision konnte nur mit Partnern verwirklicht werden, denen die F\u00f6rderung wissenschaftlicher Bildung am Herzen liegt. Die H.W. & Hector Stiftung legte in einer fr\u00fchen Phase des Projekts mit ihrer gro\u00dfz\u00fcgigen Grundfinanzierung zahlreicher Ausstellungselemente den entscheidenden Grundstein und l\u00f6ste damit eine Welle weiteren privaten und \u00f6ffentlichen Engagements aus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. h.c. Hans-Werner Hector sagte: \u201eForschung in den unterschiedlichsten Bereichen beeinflusst unser aller Leben. Es freut uns sehr, dass wir dazu beitragen konnten, dass biologische Prozesse und Strukturen transparenter und besser verstanden werden.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Bundesministerium f\u00fcr Bildung und Forschung und die Stadt Heidelberg leisteten zus\u00e4tzlich gro\u00dfz\u00fcgige Unterst\u00fctzung. Die Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung machte durch ihr Engagement den Ausstellungsteil zu modernen Bildgebungstechnologien m\u00f6glich. Langj\u00e4hrige EMBL-Partner wie Manfred Fuchs und die Rudolf Fuchs GmbH & Co. KG, die Stiftung Sparkasse Heidelberg, die EMBL Endowment Foundation und die Friends of EMBL<\/a> schlossen sich begeistert an. F\u00fcr sie alle war dies ein gemeinsames Projekt, das den Dialog \u00fcber die Lebenswissenschaften f\u00f6rdern und die Besucher:innen mit einer Vision inspirieren sollte, die schlie\u00dflich den Namen \u201eDie Welt der Molekularbiologie\u201c tragen w\u00fcrde. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seit Mitte letzten Jahres f\u00fchrt nun das EMBL Science Education and Public Engagement Team (SEPE)<\/a> kostenlos Schulgruppen ab 14 Jahren und \u00fcber die Webseite<\/a> angemeldete Besucher durch die interaktive Ausstellung. Mit Touchscreens, Joysticks und Virtual-Reality-Brillen wird die Forschung unmittelbar erlebbar, w\u00e4hrend Workshops und erg\u00e4nzende Schulmaterialien faszinierende Themen wie Zellbiologie greifbar machen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bisher haben sich \u00fcber 2.000 Menschen, darunter fast 1.000 Sch\u00fcler:innen bei F\u00fchrungen oder Workshops inspirieren lassen und einen tiefen Einblick in die molekularbiologische Welt gewonnen. Viele Sch\u00fcler:innen bekundeten nach dem Besuch der Ausstellung Interesse, ein Praktikum am EMBL zu absolvieren. Eine <\/em>Sch\u00fclerin aus einer Heidelberger Schule formulierte: \u201eIch m\u00f6chte jetzt Biologie studieren\u201c, und ein Lehrer von der Marie-Baum-Schule sagte: \u201eDas Programm ist so inspirierend!  Es entfacht bei den Sch\u00fcler:innen die Neugier, mehr \u00fcber das Fach Molekularbiologie zu erfahren.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
