Fabian Unruh at the Leibniz “Book a Scientist” online event

At this year's edition of the Leibniz Asso­ciation's online event “Book a Scientist”, CNTR scien­tists will once again be available for direct dis­cussions with all inte­rested parties. This time, Fabian Unruh will be taking part. The online ex­change will take place on June 03, 2025.

Fabian Unruh talks about “Nuclear wea­pons and the role of techno­logy in disar­mament”. The Russian inva­sion of Ukraine and repeated nu­clear threats by President Putin and his en­tourage brought nuclear wea­pons back in the dis­cussions of Western societies. Do we need a “German nuke”? What happens if Russia uses nuclear wea­pon? Should we disarm nuclear wea­pons and how? In this con­versation you can talk about nuclear wea­pons, their history and phy­sical princi­ples and how nuclear arms con­trol treaties work.

At the “Book a Scientist” online event, inte­rested parties can talk online for 25 minutes with an expert from the Leibniz Asso­ciation. The individual one-on-one meetings take place be­tween 10–11.30 and 16–17.30. Appoint­ments can be booked on the Leib­niz website. The event is held in German and English.
