Graduate Student Funding to Attend 70th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany
70th Meeting with Nobel Laureates (Interdisciplinary)

28 June - 3 July 2020
Applications Due: September 13, 2019
Nominees need to provide supporting documentation such as a CV, two (2) reference letters, a personal statement, research abstract, and institution endorsement letter.
UNLV can endorse 2 (two) student applications for travel sponsorships. Please email kate.korgan@unlv.edu to express interest in institutional endorsement.
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.

Students and young researchers are nominated and selected by several sponsoring agencies and organizations.

These students will travel to Lindau to participate in discussions with the Nobel Laureates, as well as other graduate students and junior researchers from around the world.
