In summer 2015, more than 650 Young Scientists from 88 countries will experience a unique meeting with 67 Nobel Laureates, representing at least half a century of scientific breakthroughs that have deeply impacted our world – not only in the realm of science, but the actual lives of almost all of us. The Lindau Meetings are about science. And they are about the benefit of science for mankind, as Alfred Nobel has put it so famously in his last will, defining who should receive a Nobel Prize. And in this very sense, Lindau is also a place to become inspired: What should we do research on, and what can we achieve by it beyond writing the next paper? How should we do it, considering its effect on society, environment, everyone around us, and ourselves? In his last Lindau lecture, Nobel Laureate Christian de Duve addressed the Young Scientists with a striking appeal: “My generation has made a mess of things. It is up to you to do better. The future is in your hands. Good luck!” 65 years after their first installment, the meetings are more than ever dedicated to an exchange that transcends barriers of nationality, religion, gender, or any other origin. We would like to encourage all the Young Scientists to make most of this week: Get in contact with the Nobel Laureates. They have come to Lindau to meet you. Talk to your fellow students. They are your colleagues and collaborators of tomorrow. It is them who will help you “to do better”. Welcome to an exciting week!

Programme Session Types

The 65th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting features a variety of session formats. In general, the mornings usually offer plenary formats, while the afternoons add more interactive elements.

Plenary Lecture Plenary lectures are given by Nobel Laureates only. They may choose a topic of their liking – be it their Nobel Prize research, be it something else. As the time is limited to thirty minutes, there is usually no discussion.

Plenary Panel Discussion In a plenary panel discussion, several panelists jointly discuss one topic. This year, three discussions are offered:

• on Monday (“The Quest for Interdisciplinarity: Inspiration or Distraction?”),
• on Thursday (“Communication Overkill?”) and
• on Friday (“Science Education”).

Discussion Sessions In the afternoon, all lectures held in the morning can be discussed in separate discussion sessions. These research-oriented discussions are strictly limited to Laureates and Young Scientists, and switching between sessions should be avoided.

Master Class This format will offer a most intense exchange between Young Scientists and Laureates, as selected Young Scientists present their research and then engage in an in-depth discussion with a Laureate. Attendance requires online pre-registration.

Science Breakfasts Science breakfasts are additional options for a more informal exchange. They are organised by Lindau’s partners, featuring talks, discussions and a joint breakfast with a Nobel Laureate. Attendance requires online pre-registration
