Detailed Programme Schedule
Morning Sessions: Scientific Foundations
09:00 – 09:15
Opening: A Nobel Perspective on Energy's Future
Professor Brian Josephson, Nobel Laureate in Physics
Emeritus Professor, Trinity College, Cambridge
Professor Josephson will open the seminar with insights into why LENR deserves serious scientific attention and how breakthrough discoveries often emerge from challenging conventional wisdom. His perspective as a Nobel Prize winner who overcame scepticism provides inspiration for students entering controversial yet promising research fields.
Plus: Administrative announcements and day overview
09:15 – 10:00
From Pons & Fleischmann to Today: The Experimental Evidence for LENR
Professor Jean-Paul Biberian, University of Marseille
Senior Researcher, LENR Experimental Physics
This talk traces the remarkable journey of LENR research from the controversial 1989 announcement to today’s reproducible experiments.
Followed by Q&A session
10:15 – 11:00
Understanding the ‘Impossible’: The Science Behind LENR
Professor David Nagel, George Washington University
Materials Science & Nuclear Engineering Expert
How can nuclear reactions occur at low energies when conventional physics says they shouldn’t? Professor Nagel will guide you through the scientific puzzle and emerging theoretical frameworks:
