Memorial Symposium for Willibald Jentschke

Willibald 'Willi' Jentschke, Director General of CERN from 1971 to 1975 and founder of the DESY Laboratory in Hamburg, died last March, just a few months after celebrating his 90th birthday. At that time, the Bulletin dedicated an article to him (Bulletin n°19-20/2002). Now, CERN has organised a Memorial Symposium for next Thursday 31 October, where you are cordially invited.
This tribute will include the following speechs:

  • L. Maiani : Welcome
  • E. Lohrmann : Message from DESY
  • H. Schopper : Willi Jentschke
  • M. Veltman and D. Perkins : The Neutral Currents
  • K. Johnsen : The ISR in Jentschke's time
  • K. Winter : Some recollections of Jentschke
The Memorial Symposium will take place in the Council Chamber, Thursday 31 October at 15 hrs. Drinks will be served at 17:30 hrs following the symposium.
