69th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting: Personal experiences of two young scientists

Abstract

PUBLISHED: 26 September 2019 The annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is an extremely prestigious 1-week event at which bright young scientists from across the globe are able to meet Nobel laureates to discuss matters of science. These meetings were initiated in 1951 to liberate German scientists from their post-war isolation. The aim was to encourage and cement networks and reduce barriers between nations. Since that time, the meeting has taken place every year in the small Bavarian town of Lindau on Lake Constance, alternating among the disciplines of medicine and physiology, chemistry and physics. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three disciplines is held every 5 years and a meeting on economics is held every 3 years.
