Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

Once every year, 30 to 40 Nobel Laureates convene at Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 400-500 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster the exchange between 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. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three natural sciences is held every five years. In addition, the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences is held every three years.
 
The scientific program of each Lindau Meeting is based on the principle of dialogue. The different sessions – lectures, discussions, master classes, and panel discussions – are designed to activate the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experience between and among Nobel Laureates and young scientists.

Academic Partners

The Lindau Meetings cooperate with more than 200 of the most renowned science and research institutions worldwide to identify the most qualified participants. The Weizmann Institute is one of the Lindau Foundation and Council's academic partners. Every year, the Weizmann School of Science of the Weizmann Institute forms a special committee designated to select the members of Israeli delegation to that year's meeting. The delegates are selected from a pool of candidates nominated by the Rectors of Israel's research universities.
