About us
EMBL Heidelberg is located in the Metropole Region Rhein Neckar, an area of scientific, economic and cultural development in South West Germany. The city is the home of Germany's oldest university and is a world famous research centre for industry and science. Heidelberg is the perfect location for EMBL's conferences, as it enjoys an outstanding reputation in science and research and it is very easy to reach in the centre of Europe. EMBL is conveniently embedded in a picturesque environment on the hillside overlooking the Rhine valley, within a 10 min taxi ride of the city centre of Heidelberg and the main station. Public transport is available during the day, and during conferences EMBL ensures frequent bus transfers between EMBL, the Heidelberg city centre, and the hotels. The EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC), the new, DNA-shaped double helical conference venue in the heart of Europe, is setting the scene for a new era of scientific conferences at EMBL. Promoting advanced training and education for scientists from all over the world, the ATC hosts state-of-the-art training facilities for practical courses and computer labs together with a 450 seat auditorium. Integrated witin the EMBL Heidelberg campus, it also features a new canteen, serving the catering needs of the upcoming conference and training events. In addition to the ATC, EMBL continues to operate its conference facilities in the main building, including seminar rooms of various sizes and the 300 seat Operon auditorium. However, these facilities are generally used for internal purposes, and may only be used exceptionally to cater specific needs of event organisers. In the main building, EMBL generally hosts all of its internal events. Several rooms of various sizes are available, from small breakout meeting rooms to the large Operon lecture theatre, which hosts up to 300 persons, and can be divided into a 100 and a 200 person seminar room.
