Dr. Anna Bartosik, a young IIMCB scientist will participate in the 64th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, Germany. This year the conference is dedicated to physiology and medicine. Once again, Nobel Laureates have been invited to lecture on a topic of their deliberate choice and showcase the wide range of research fields.
With 38 Nobel Laureates and approximately 600 young scientists from more than 80 countries, the 64th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is a landmark on the agenda of the international scientific dialogue. The most esteemed scientists of our times and promising young talents will share their enthusiasm for science, discuss the latest research findings, and help expand a community across generations, cultures and disciplines.

About the Meetings
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings – established in 1951 – provide globally recognised forums for the exchange of knowledge between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. They inspire scientific generations and build sustainable networks of young scientists from around the world.
The participants at the Lindau Meetings are characterised by diversity. They all come from a variety of national and scientific backgrounds and have very different ways of communicating. This makes the Nobel Laureate Meetings unique in the world and a model of the kind of visionary cooperation which science will increasingly need in the future. Furthermore, scientific progress will need to be firmly anchored in international and interdisciplinary networks of individuals working together. Lindau provides the stimulus for such networks to take root and grow.
The original idea of the meetings goes back to the two Lindau physicians Dr. Franz Karl Hein and Professor Dr. Gustav Wilhelm Parade as well as Count Lennart Bernadotte af Wisborg, a member of the Swedish royal family who quickly became the spiritus rector of the Lindau Meetings. It was him who recognised the significance of the meetings for the reconciliation of the peoples of post-war Europe early and thus systematically developed it to an international forum for the exchange of knowledge between nations, cultures and disciplines.
The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings interact closely with a global network of academic partners to identify highly-talented young scientists and to nominate them for participation. Partners include national academies of science, ministries, research institutions, top-ranking universities, foundations and international scientific organisations. Without this support, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings would not be able to identify and invite the most gifted scientific talents world-wide.
The world’s best young scientists of tomorrow submit applications to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. An international, multi-stage selection process makes sure that the scientific elite of the future is able to come together with the Nobel Laureates in Lindau. Every year, several thousand young scientists worldwide apply.
