Meeting point Lindau

Networking event in scenic surroundings: 29 Max Planck early career researchers met five Max Planck Nobel Laureates in Lindau. © private - After two years of online only encounters, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting 2022 took place onsite again This year, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting took place as in-person event again after a two-year, pandemic-enforced hiatus with only online activities. The small town on Lake Constance has been the venue for the annual meeting of top scientists since 1951. For a whole week, there are lectures, discussions and social events where young scientists can talk to the science. Five Nobel Prize Laureates from the Max Planck Society participated in the event, as well as 22 young researchers from Max Planck Institutes who successfully passed a rigorous multi-stage application and selection process. This year's meeting was dedicated to the subject of chemistry. Max Planck Nobel Laureates included Benjamin List from the Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung, who received the Nobel Prize last year for his discovery of asymmetric organocatalysis, as well as Stefan Hell, Hartmut Michl, Erwin Neher, and Robert Huber.
