Dr. Fabienne Gschwind represented HIU at the boat trip on Lake Constance, the final event of the 66th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. The traditional boat trip across Lake Constance was again hosted by the German Federal State of Baden-Württemberg. 29 Nobel Laureates and some 400 selected young scientists from 80 countries had spent the week in Lindau discussing central topics from the field of physics.
The boat trip on the MS Sonnenkönigin and the picnic on the meadows surrounding Mainau castle provided the delegates with a good opportunity for networking. An important topic of discussion was the climate change and renewable energy. In this context, particular attention was paid to the presentation of the innovative HIU battery research, which is an important key to the success of the energy transition and the electric mobility.
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have been hosted on the banks of Lake Constance every year since 1951. Once every year, 30–40 Nobel Laureates convene at Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 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.
