In the beautiful Solvay Library in Brussels, we had a very interesting day with an exciting program.
The Solvay Library in Brussels is a historic place, where Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Max Planck, Marie Curie and many other Nobel laureates measured up to each other during the mythical Solvay deliberations.
