Opening Day
A Moment for Celebration
A festive Opening Ceremony was the perfect kick-off for a week full of scientific and
personal exchange. For the first time, a Young Scientist co-hosted the ceremony.
Debatri Chattopadhyay from Cardiff University led participants through the programme
together with Adam Smith of Nobel Prize Outreach. Later, a reception hosted by
the Free State of Bavaria provided a perfect setting for personal encounters between
Nobel Laureates, Young Scientists, and guests.
