67th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting

From the 25th to the 30th of June the 67th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting was held in Lindau, Germany. This year, it was dedicated to the field of chemistry. In the course of the annual events, 28 Nobel Laureates and over 400 young international scientists – students, doctoral and postdoctoral students – came into contact with each other in order to foster the scientific and cultural exchange between the different generations and disciplines.

Dr. Dominic Bresser represented the HIU during the boat trip across the Lake Constance, which traditionally concludes the meeting. Also in this year, there was a large number of young scientists showing great interest in the activities carried out at HIU, many of them also with a scientific background in the field of energy storage and conversion. Among the interested visitors were also Mr. Ulrich Steinbach, head of the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts of the state of Baden-Württemberg, and Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld, formerly CEO of Siemens and Alcoa, who was appointed as Honorary Senator of the Lindau Foundation in the course of this event.

The boat trip to the Mainau Island, including a final panel discussion – this year about “Ethics in Science” – and a subsequent picnic is organized by the State of Baden-Württemberg and offers the participants and visitors a platform for further informal exchange prior to the official end of the meeting.

Since 1951, the Lindau Conferences have been organized as an international forum for international scientific exchange. Alternately, they are devoted to the natural scientific Nobel Prize disciplines physiology/medicine, physics and chemistry.
