Registration for "The Open Readings 2025" Conference is Open

The 68th International Conference for Students of Physics and Natural Sciences "Open Readings 2025" will take place from May 13 to 16, 2025, at the National Center for Physical Sciences and Technology. The organizers invite prospective speakers to register by February 17, 2025.

“Open Readings” is the largest annual gathering of young scientific minds in the Baltic States. It attracts over 400 participants worldwide—students, young researchers, and renowned scientists, including Nobel Prize winners. Students from around the world present their research results in physics and other natural sciences and technologies at this international conference.

The conference provides a free platform for students to express their potential as researchers allowing students and young scientists to present their research in the format of poster and oral presentations, and receive constructive criticism from members of the scientific community. The conference is an excellent opportunity for participants and the general public to listen to internationally renowned guest speakers on a variety of scientific topics.

This year‘s invited conference speaker Rodolphe F. Jazzar is a professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of California, San Diego, and a CNRS Research Director. His groundbreaking work focuses on the intricate processes underpinning fundamental chemical transformations. By combining experimental and computational methods, his team aims to provide a deeper understanding of these transformations, ultimately enabling the development of novel catalysts and materials with transformative applications in energy, synthesis, and nanotechnology. In 2023, Dr. Jazzar was awarded the prestigious J.M. Lehn Award for excellence in organic chemistry, recognizing his transformative contributions to modern science.

Participants of the conference will have an opportunity to hear the invited speaker Zoltán Molnár – a Professor of Developmental Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on the early development of the mammalian cerebral cortex, particularly the role of transient subplate neurons in the specialization of cortical areas. The professor is at the forefront of translating this knowledge into insights regarding the pathomechanisms of cognitive developmental conditions, such as autism and schizophrenia. Zoltán Molnár has received countless awards throughout his career, which reflect Prof. Molnár’s significant contributions to neuroscience and medical education.
Participation and registration are free of charge.
