The Lise Meitner Lectures (LML)[1] are a series of public lectures in honour of
Lise Meitner. The lectures are organized jointly by the
German Physical Society and the
Austrian Physical Society, with the intention to showcase outstanding female scientists in
physics or related fields. The annual lecture series was launched in 2008, when Lise Meitner's birthday celebrated its 130th anniversary. In October 2008, the Lise Meitner Lecture was held in Vienna and Berlin with an
accompanying exhibition.[2] The annual lecture series[3] not only aims at increasing the visibility of successful female researchers, but also at encouraging girls and young women towards careers in physics.
