Lindau Alumni
Involving Our Global Community
From helping with our peer review to the challenge of safeguarding biodiversity
or participating in the Falling Walls Science Summit, Lindau Alumni had manifold
opportunities to get involved this year.
Alumni Peer Review
The Lindau Alumni community had a multifaceted and
meaningful impact on the composition of the Lindau
Meeting in 2024. A small team of selected Lindau Alumni
from around the world once again supported our Scientific Chairs as reviewers in the nomination and application process. In addition, Lindau Alumni volunteered as
part of the review process for the Next Gen Science sessions, evaluating a vast number of abstracts submitted
by #LINO24 physicists. The collaboration is continuing
during the selection process for the upcoming 74th Lindau Meeting. We would like to thank all Lindau Alumni
reviewers for their involvement in this cooperative effort.
AuthentiSci at #LINO24
AuthentiSci is a tool that helps to combat misinformation and to verify scientific information in the media for
scientists and non-scientists alike. Since the first Lindau
Online Sciathon, it has been further developed by Lindau
Alumni in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute
for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam and the Foundation
Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. After a relaunch with
a workshop in Potsdam last May, 2019 Lindau Alumna
100 | Reaching out to Society
Ana Alonso Serrano presented the tool during the
Baden-Württemberg Boat Trip at #LINO24. Please find
more information on authentisci.com.
Some Lindau Alumni were actively involved during the
Meeting week, in activities such as the Sciathon Forum
(see p. 78). Lindau Alumnus Leonhard Möckl moderated
one of the Lindau Guidelines workshops (see p. 80). Lindau
Alumna Sibylle Anderl, after moderating the panel discussion on Mainau Island, cordially welcomed this year’s
Young Scientists into the Lindau Alumni community.
Lindau Alumni Network
The Lindau Alumni Network has been the digital space
for our alumni community since 2017. The platform includes tools that help users to find fellow alumni, share
their work, swap stories, register for Lindau Alumni
events, and stay connected to our growing global community. Members of the Lindau Alumni Network will
always hear about new opportunities to extend the “Lindau Spirit” beyond the confines of a weeklong meeting.
The Lindau Meetings express their sincere gratitude to
the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research
for supporting the project.
