Fellowships
Endowments Enable Participation
Special fellowships of the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings enable the
participation of selected Young Scientists in the Meetings.

The Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings was
established in 2000 upon the initiative of 50 Nobel Laureates. Since then, more than 380 Laureates have joined
the Founders’ Assembly. To support the continuation of
the Lindau Meetings in the long term and to safeguard
their independence, the Foundation continues to pursue
the goal of significantly increasing its assets.
To help generous donors achieve this, the Lindau
Foundation has set up Fellowship Funds to enable Young
Scientists to participate in the Lindau Meetings. For
instance, we want to draw special attention to the fellowship named after Countess Sonja Bernadotte – this funding enables female Young Scientists to participate in the
Meetings.
Another fellowship, called the “Lindau Spirit”, describes the special atmosphere at the Meetings when
Nobel Laureates and Young Scientists meet together in
Lindau. The “Lindau Spirit Fellowship” was initiated by
supporters during the pandemic and was awarded for
the first time in 2022. In the meantime, several such
fellowships have been created, including the “Sharon
and Lou Ignarro Fellowship” which is funded from the
proceeds of the German edition of the book “Dr. NO: The
Discovery That Led to a Nobel Prize and Viagra”.
In grateful and loving memory of Edmond H. Fischer,
recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine 1992, the Vallee
Foundation has also endowed an Eddy Fischer/Vallee
Foundation Fellowship Fund. With this fellowship,
every year a Young Scientist is invited in his name to the
Meetings in Lindau.
