PANEL TALK | Frayn’s COPENHAGEN: A Drama More Timely Than You Might Want
20.06.2025, 18:00 - 19:00 Uhr | Audimax, Hamburg
Organized and hosted by Verein der Förderer und Freunde der Physik an der Universität Hamburg e.V. The panel will be held in English and is free free of charge. If you'd like to support us, you can buy a voluntary ticket here.
While we can seat a lot of people for the panel on Saturday, June 20th, you may find the show of COPENHAGEN on that night sold out. If you still want to attend the panel discussion AND watch a show, no problem — join us for the show on another evening for a special price! Simply purchase a panel ticket (listed as a “voluntary support ticket”) and send us an email at up@uni-hamburg.de. We’ll reserve a seat for you on another night of your choice — if still available — which you can then pick up at the box office for a special price of 5 € (or even for free if you're a student) on the evening of the show.
Although the subject of Michael Frayn's drama is ostensibly set in the history of the Second World War, it fits better into the present day than one might wish. Advances in nuclear technology, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biotechnology over the past decades either have already made possible or will enable the development of more dreadful weapons threatening humankind. The questions of scientific ethics raised in the drama are therefore more topical than ever for the general public and for researchers in the relevant fields in particular.
This Interdisciplinary panel discussion on the unsettling relevance of COPENHAGEN features these experts:
Prof. Dr. Luisa Lucie-Smith (Hamburg Observatory)
Prof. Dr. Michael RĂĽbhausen (Institute for Solid-State and Nanostructure Physics and Centre for Hybrid Nanostructures)
Prof. Dr. Robin Santra (Center for Free-Electron Laser Science at DESY and I. Institute for Theoretical Physics)
Prof. Dr. Matthias Schemmel (Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences)
