7501933220_af82a1de80_cThis summer (July 1- 5) EUSJA journalists once again will have a possibility to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings which will bring together the most esteemed scientists of their times and outstanding young scientists from all over the world. The meeting in 2013 will be developed to chemistry. 35 Nobel Laureates have already announced their participation: Peter Agre, Werner Arber, Martin Chalfie, Aaron Ciechanover, Paul Crutzen, Robert Curl Jr., Manfred Eigen, Richard Ernst, Gerhard Ertl, Walter Gilbert, Robert Grubbs, Theodor Hänsch, Serge Haroche, Harald zur Hausen, Avram Hershko, Robert Huber, Brian Kobilka, Walter Kohn, Sir Harold W. Kroto, Jean-Marie Lehn, Rudolph Marcus, Hartmut Michel, Mario Molina, K. Alex Müller, Erwin Neher, José Ramos-Horta, Bert Sakmann, Richard Schrock, Osamu Shimomura, Akira Suzuki, Roger Y. Tsien, John Walker, David Wineland, Kurt Wüthrich, Ada Yonath .Close to 600 young researchers from up to 70 countries will be selected to participate.

EUSJA has 8 invitations for science journalists to attend the meeting, to watch the lectures and discussions, to get a fine possibility for interviews. The participants will be offered 4 night accommodation for free and have to pay for their travelling. The applications (name, media affiliation, e-mail, mobile) must be sent by March 31 to Viola Egikova via national associations.

The Lindau meetings are organized by the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and the Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings at Lake Constance. However, they originate from an initiative of the two Lindau physicians Franz Karl Hein and Gustav Wilhelm Parade, and Count Lennart Bernadotte, a member of the Swedish royal family residing on Mainau Island in Lake Constance. The first meeting in 1951 – an exchange of physicians with seven Nobel Laureates from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and Germany – provided a significant impulse to the European scientific dialogue after World War II. Ever since, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have evolved into an international forum for scientific debate on issues of global importance, gaining many partners and supporters around the world.
The leitmotif “Educate. Inspire. Connect.” not only applies to the meetings, it also determines the societal commitment of the Lindau Meetings. Numerous projects convey the fascination of science and research, provide food for thought and stimulate public debates.
