Lise Meitner was born in Vienna and worked in Berlin for over 30 years. In 1939 she delivered the first physical-theoretical explanation of nuclear fission. She died in Cambridge (Great Britain) in 1968. In her honour, the Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG) and the German Physical Society (DPG) have established the "Lise Meitner Lectures" (LML), which took place for the first time in 2008. This annual series of lectures at the DPG Annual Meetings aims to present outstanding female scientists to a broad audience.

The Lise Meitner Lectures 2025 will be given by Nobel Laureate Anne L'Huillier as part of the DPG's ceremonial session on Tuesday, 11 March 2025.

The Lise-Meitner-Lectures are open to all conference participants and the interested public. Admission is free and registration for the conference is not necessary.
