Outlook:
75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Interdisciplinary) – 28 June to 3 July 2026, #LINO75
76th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Physiology/Medicine) – 27 June to 2 July 2027
The 8th Lindau Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences concludes today with a cherished tradition: the boat trip from Lindau to Mainau Island. There, the Meeting will end with a Panel Discussion referring to the most recent Economics Prize: “Institutions and Development: Good for a Few or Empowering the Many?” – available via livestream from 11:00 CEST.
In addition to the yearly Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in the natural sciences, a Lindau Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences is held every three years. Now, the spotlight has been on Economic Sciences, with about 300 Young Scientists and 22 – mostly Economics – Laureates engaging in an intensive week of exchange.
Looking at both Meetings, Lindau 2025 featured 11 Laureate premieres, proof of the fact that the Lindau Spirit is not only attractive to regular participants (up to 28 meetings), but also to Nobel Prize novices: John M. Jumper (2024 Chemistry), Simon H. Johnson (2024 Economics), Moungi G. Bawendi (2023 Chemistry), Douglas W. Diamond (2022 Economics), Philip H. Dybvig (2022 Economics), Guido W. Imbens (2021 Economics), Akira Yoshino (2019 Chemistry), Sir M. Stanley Whittingham (2019 Chemistry), Paul M. Romer (2018 Economics), Sir Gregory P. Winter (2018 Chemistry), and Thomas C. Südhof (2013 Physiology/Medicine).
In total, 54 Nobel Laureates and around 900 Young Scientists representing 93 nationalities attended the Lindau Meetings in 2025. Along with them, multiple high-profile participants from science, business, politics, and (social) media took part. Since 1951, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have welcomed more than 36,000 Young Scientists and a total of 446 Nobel Laureates to Lake Constance – 376 from Physics, Chemistry, and Physiology/Medicine, 59 from the Economic Sciences, as well as 9 Peace and 2 Literature Laureates.
"This year’s Meetings have demonstrated once again the exceptional expertise and genuine passion of our participants. With such outstanding accomplishments as a basis, we approach 2026 and the
75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting with great anticipation", summarizes Countess Bettina Bernadotte, President of the Council.
Professor Jürgen Kluge, Chairman of the Board of the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, concludes about the 2025 Meetings: "The discussions in Lindau this summer have illustrated the profound importance of scientific collaboration for society. This exceptional opportunity for dialogue on pressing scientific issues reaffirms the lasting importance of connecting generations of scientists. We are especially grateful to all the Nobel Laureates and to our many supporters, such as Mario Draghi and José Manuel Barroso, who make a Meeting like ours possible."
Key Themes and Highlights 2025
Throughout both Meetings, many topical issues challenging societies worldwide were discussed by Nobel Laureates and leading Young Scientists. Starting with chemistry, artificial intelligence in chemical research, sustainability, and science diplomacy were on the agenda for the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.
The 8th Lindau Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences addressed further pressing global challenges, focusing on research and innovation in a tripolar world, the fragility of financial systems, new approaches to climate policies and international cooperation, as well as political/administrative institutions and development.
Anticipating the 2026 Anniversary: 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting
Looking ahead, 2026 will mark a milestone: the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will take place from 28 June to 3 July. It will be truly interdisciplinary in nature. On the one hand, the Meeting will bring together Nobel Laureates from all Nobel Prize disciplines in the natural sciences and economics. On the other hand, the Lindau Academic Partners have been invited to nominate undergraduate, master, and doctoral students as well as young postdoctoral scientists doing research at the intersection of at least two Nobel disciplines (physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine) or at the intersection of one Nobel discipline and another discipline from the natural or even social sciences. Around 600 outstanding Young Scientists from all over the world will be selected to participate in the Anniversary Meeting.
Young Scientists interested in applying for participation in 2026 can start right away by carefully reviewing the information about the current Academic Partners on our website and contact the respective institution to learn about specific application requirements. Application and nomination will start in early September.
Beyond the Scientific Programme, the Meeting will highlight Lindau’s long-standing mission to foster international understanding and to strengthen trust in science – a spirit that has defined the Meetings for three quarters of a century and will continue to Educate, Inspire, and Connect the global scientific community in the years to come.
