Bringing the World’s Top Talents to Lindau
The Importance of
Our Academic Partners

Partners that help ensure the scientific excellence of the attending Young Scientists.

during the 73rd Meeting
World-renowned scientific institutions both from the
public and private sectors are entitled to nominate Young
Scientists for participation in the Lindau Meetings. These
institutions include academies of sciences, leading universities, research institutes, foundations, and innovative
enterprises throughout the world. This support allows
the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings to bring together the
most gifted scientific talents worldwide.
For the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Physics)
more than 130 institutions from around the globe nominated their most talented Young Scientists. Generally, Young Scientists apply to and are nominated by our
Academic Partner institutions. In exceptional cases, applications can be submitted directly to the Council via Open
Application, for example, when an applicant studies or
works in a country where the Lindau Meetings do not
yet have an Academic Partner. The Academic Partner
network is continuously being expanded. The Lindau
Meetings conclude memoranda of understanding with
their Academic Partner institutions to commit themselves to the interconnection and promotion of aspiring
Young Scientists and thus to spreading Lindau’s “Mission:
Education” worldwide.
For instance, in 2024, a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Research Foundation, Singapore,
was renewed. This connection additionally resulted in
a cooperation with the Royal Society for STEM, Bhutan.
Finally, two Young Scientists from Bhutan participated
in the Meeting, supported by the “Hans und Wolfgang
Schleussner-Stiftung”.
In their symbiotic relationship with the Lindau Nobel
Laureate Meetings, Academic Partners act as vital nodes
in a world-spanning network of progressive young
minds for which the Lindau Meetings function as a hub.
They foster a constant pursuit of excellence and are enablers of intergenerational and intercultural dialogue.
