Big Physics Conference 2025: International experts meet in Regensburg!
The DPG Spring Conference 2025 at the University of Regensburg: Quantum science, AI and climate change in focus from March 16th to 21st.
Big Physics Conference 2025: International experts meet in Regensburg!
This year's DPG spring conference of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM) will take place from March 16 to 21, 2025 at the University of Regensburg instead of. This conference is the largest of the four DPG spring conferences and is considered the largest physics congress in Europe. A total of over 9,000 international scientists are expected to address the most important topics in modern physics.
A central concern of this conference is the discussion aboutInternational Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The focus here is on artificial intelligence (AI), climate change and the role of science in social challenges. DPG President Prof. Dr. Klaus Richter emphasizes how important international, fact-based exchange is for science.
Diverse program and priorities
The section is particularly concerned with condensed matter topics, which include semiconductors, metals, quantum materials, plastics and biological cells. Conference leader Prof. Dr. Christoph Strunk emphasizes the agenda that focuses on nanostructures, quantum materials and spintronics. “Over 3,800 scientific contributions will be presented,” says Strunk, once again underlining the importance of the event.
A highlight is the public evening lecture on climate change entitled “Living in a Warming World”, which will take place on March 19, 2025. New regulations for the DPG climate working group will also include events such as the “climate lounge” and the lunch lectures.
Artificial intelligence is covered in various symposiums, including “AI in (Bio-) Physics” and “AI-driven Materials Design”. Another important item on the program is the presentation of important awards such as the Walter Schottky Prize, the Gaede Prize and the Dissertation Prize, which will take place on March 18, 2025.
Public events and participation offers
A comprehensive program is open to the interested public. Participation in the public offer is free of charge. One of the important dates is the “Einstein Slam: Physics in 10 minutes” on March 17, 2025, which brings together the give and take of knowledge in an entertaining way. In addition, public lectures on topics such as quantum physics and cosmic nucleosynthesis are planned.
The DPG spring conferences take place not only in Regensburg, but also in Bonn, Cologne and Göttingen. The events in Bonn and Cologne cover a variety of topics, from atomic and molecular physics to quantum information to the physics of hadrons and nuclei. These diverse topics form the basis for exchange and learning among over 9,000 participants from all over the world.
Teachers are invited to take part in the conferences free of charge and thus gain valuable insights into current research. With an intensive program that promotes scientific exchange and strengthens public engagement in scientific issues, the German Physical Society (DPG), founded in 1845 and with over 55,000 members, is once again demonstrating its central role in promoting science and knowledge transfer.
Overall, the DPG Spring Conference 2025 offers a comprehensive forum for current research and discussion on important social issues. More information and the option for press accreditation can be found on the websites of the respective venues.
