Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

Once every year, around 30-40 Nobel Laureates convene in Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 600 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster the exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines.

The meetings focus alternately on physiology and medicine, on physics, and on chemistry – the three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines. Every five years an interdisciplinary Meeting takes place, while the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences is held every three years.

Applications from young researchers in Chemistry, Physics and Medicine/Physiology for participation at the next Meeting (28 June - 3 July 2026) can be submitted from 20 August until 18 September 2025.
