women for quantum
Workshop for students and special lecture
Equal opportunities is organising something special as part of the quantum year. In a workshop on poster design - well-founded in terms of content, effective in terms of design. The focus is on female students and scientists, who can not only sharpen their presentation skills, but also network, exchange ideas and inspire each other. Registration is now open
Another highlight awaiting them on 16 December is a special lecture as part of "Women for Quantum":
Prof. Dr Stefanie Kroker will speak on the topic of "Metrology for functional nanosystems". After the lecture, she will be available for discussions and inspiring talks at an exhibition of the posters she has designed.

100 years of quantum mechanics - to the origins on Heligoland
One of the central events of the quantum year - the Helgoland Conference on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics - took place during a week in June 2025. This location is linked to the emergence of Heisenberg's publication on the formulation of matrix mechanics, which appeared 100 years ago in September. Researchers spent a week discussing topics relating to the foundations and interpretation of this successful theory.
This article provides an exciting insight:

Physics reporter Lizzy Gibney, who writes for nature and scientific american among others, was also on Heligoland. Here is her report of the week:
100 years of quantum physics - The DPG Autumn Conference 2025
This year, the autumn conference of the German Physical Society (DPG), which is now taking place for the second time, will focus on the quantum anniversary. It will take place from 8 - 12 September in Göttingen.
The funding programme of the Wilhelm and Else Heräus Foundation provides generous financial support for participation, especially for those interested in the Master's and doctoral phases.
The special occasion of the conference brings with it a special programme with outstanding speakers - certainly an opportunity not to be missed.
