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. The Laureates lecture on the topic of their choice in the mornings and participate in less formal, small-group discussions with the students in the afternoons and some evenings. In addition to this valuable interaction, the participants enjoy the picturesque island city of Lindau. This medieval city—rich in central European culture—is located at the eastern end of Lake Constance, just north of the Swiss Alps, at the common border of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Students and young researchers are nominated and selected by several sponsoring agencies and organizations.
This award covers travel costs to attend the 2013 meeting. Nominated students must be US citizens, full-time graduate students, and have completed by June 2013 at least two years of study toward a doctoral degree in chemistry or in a related discipline, but not planning a dissertation/thesis defense before December 31, 2013. UW-Madison is limited to two nominations per pathway listed below under Applications for Internal Competitions
