In 1954 Max Born received the Nobel Prize in Physics - together with Walther Bothe - "for his fundamental research in quantum mechanics, especially for his statistical interpretation of the wavefunction". The 11th December 2004 is the 50th anniversary of Max Borns Nobel Lecture in Stockholm and at the same day we also remember his 122nd birthday.

The Max Born Institute will commemorate this event on
