Symposium held by the Heisenberg-Gesellschaft, 16-18 September 2024

Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) laid the foundations of quantum mechanics; he received the Nobel Prize in 1932. During World War II he became involved in the so-called German Uranium Project, which was supposed to clarify the usage potential of nuclear fission. Heisenbergs role in this project has been discussed extensively over the decades, and yet there are still uncertainties and controversies about the scope and aim of the work.

Mark Walker´s overview of the various interpretations of the German Uranium Project may serve as an introduction to the wealth of literature; a recent bibliography by Manfred Popp is availabe from this website

This symposium aims to provide more clarity by presenting and discussing new scientific findings on the work carried out.



This symposium is supported by the Helmholtz Research Academy Hesse (HFHF).
