Lindau-Nobel Laureates Meeting 2019 (Physics) – Travel Awards

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.

Transportation, lodging and registration expenses are arranged and paid for by the sponsoring agencies. Participants meet for an orientation meeting prior to the start of the Lindau Meeting. A student awardee will be committed to travel from approximately June 28, 2019, until July 6, 2019. The final dates will be determined at a later date.

Students may not apply directly.  Instead, students must be nominated by their departments, and departments are limited to one nomination each.  Students and their advisors should each submit their respective materials to the department’s contact person by the department’s internal deadline (check with your department to identify the appropriate contact person and ascertain the deadline).  The department must then scan materials into a single pdf, and the file should be named as follows: LastName, FirstName – DeptAbbreviation – Lindau2019 (for example: Smith, John – MechSE – Lindau2019).   The pdf should then be uploaded to this online Box folder by 5:00 p.m. on September 20, 2019. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
