Since 1951, Nobel Laureates in chemistry, physics, and physiology/medicine convene annually in Lindau, Germany, to have open and informal meetings with students and young researchers. These students will travel to Lindau to participate in discussions with the Nobel Laureates, as well as other graduate students and junior researchers from around the world.
The 64th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting dedicated to physiology or medicine will be held June 29 through July 4, 2014. Nomination deadline is Friday, November 1, 2013 4:00 pm, Eastern Time..
The 5th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences will be held August 19 through August 23, 2014. Nomination deadline is Friday, November 15, 2013 4:00 pm, Eastern Time.
Transportation, lodging and registration expenses are arranged and paid for by the sponsoring agencies. Participants meet in Washington, D.C., for an orientation meeting and travel as a group to Germany. A student awardee will be committed to travel from June 27 or 28, 2014 until July 5 or 6, 2014. The final dates will be determined at a later date.
Federal budget uncertainties prohibit a formal announcement of an internal due date for applications. ORAU member institutions may nominate one student per university. Your institution will also be invited to nominate additional students by our partnering organizations.
Further information about the program, and the web site for submission of nominations, can be found online at http://www.orau.org/lindau/.
The meetings will feature recipients of the Nobel Prize in Medicine/Physiology and Economics.
Eligibility:
- U.S. citizens currently enrolled at a university as full-time graduate students;
- Completed by June 2014 at least two academic years of graduate studies toward a doctoral degree in the discipline of medicine/physiology or a related discipline, but not be planning a dissertation/thesis defense before December 31, 2014 (Note: eligibility requirements for the Economics Meeting will vary)
We are especially interested in receiving nominations from a diverse group of students, including women, minorities and people with disabilities.
