Join Us for a Special Celebration of the Quantum Year 

On 14 November 2025, we warmly invite you to an exceptional event marking the culmination of the Quantum Year. Held in the historic heart of Münster, this gathering is more than a ceremonial closure—it is a moment of reflection, dialogue, and shared commitment to the future.

Hosted by the German Physical Society (DPG) in collaboration with the Japan Physical Society (JPS) and the University of Münster, this event brings together leading minds in physics, ethics, and science policy for a meaningful exchange under the theme:

"The Role and Responsibility of Scientists in Times of Disruptive Challenges"

This evening offers a unique opportunity to engage with renowned experts and fellow thinkers in an inspiring setting.

 

Event Access Information

Entry begins at 3:45pm at the main entrance of Münster City Hall. Please have your invitation or access confirmation ready upon arrival. The official program will start promptly at 4:15pm in the historic Bürgersaal.

Following the opening and reception in the City Hall, most guests will move on foot (approx. 5 minutes) to the Erbdrostenhof (Festsaal) for the main discussion program and evening reception.
