The event was a great success, by welcoming more than 200 visitors of all age at each consecutive day at the IAS and the Deutsches Museum. Young & senior scientists from Harvard and MPQ were able to equally present and discuss their research projects troughout the event and were able to convey their thrilling research topics to the open public.

The launch of the center was officially introduced and acknowledged by leadership at both cooperating institutions, with Prof. Dr. Martin Stratmann and Dean Jeremy Bloxham honoring and supporting the establishment of the MPHQ center.

To further enrich the scientific program of the inauguration ceremony, Prof. Markus Greiner and Nobel Laureate Prof. Wolfgang Ketterle (MIT) enchanted the audience with their dynamic and fascinating experimental demonstrations in the Ehrensaal at the Deutsches Museum.
