Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings 2018

The KNAW invites nominations for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. In 2019 the meetings will be organised in the fields of physiology and medicine. The 68th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will take place from June 24 to 29, 2018. Deadline of nominations for candidates in the field of chemistry is October 2, 2017. Universities, research institutes and professors in the Netherlands can nominate up to two young scientists under the age of 36.

Each year the Lindau Foundation organises a six-day meeting that brings together dozens of Nobel laureates and hundreds of outstanding young scientists from more than fifty countries. The Academy nominates Dutch students and post-docs to attend the meetings. The Lindau Committee selects the participants. The meetings are dedicated alternately to chemistry, to physics, and to physiology or medicine. Every five years the meeting is interdisciplinary in nature. Meetings focusing on the economic sciences take place every three years.
