Niels Bohr lobbied the University of Copenhagen and Danish donors, including the Carlsberg Foundation, for the Institute for Theoretical Physics, which opened in 1921. He used Rockefeller grants to bring young physicists such as Werner Heisenberg and Wolfgang Pauli for long visits, making it a hub of quantum mechanics in the 1920s. In the 1930s it helped refugee scientists escape Nazi Germany. It is now the Niels Bohr Institute.
