Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have been held since 1951. They take place for about a week once every year in Lindau, an island resort on the eastern side of Lake Constance, the Bodensee, located in Southern Germany.

About 30 Nobel Laureates are invited to the meetings, to give lectures and participate in panel discussions with young researchers from around the world.

Every year, the meetings alternate their focus between the three natural science disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Physiology/Medicine. A meeting on Economic Sciences has been held every two or three years since 2004, and an Interdisciplinary Meeting (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine) has been held every five years since 2000 in place of a usual natural science meeting in either of the three disciplines.

The meetings dedicate to foster highly talented young researchers by providing them with opportunities to talk with Nobel Laureates in a casual setting all day, which would stimulate their intellectual curiosity. They also offer the best chances to build international peer networks.

Period: About a week in the end of June (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine) / in the end of August (Economic Sciences).
