Overview

Begun seven decades ago, today the Lindau meetings bring together some 600 university students and post-doctoral fellows from around the world who spend a week absorbing lectures by Nobel Laureates and interacting with them in smaller groups to discuss their own research. The theme of the meetings – educate, inspire, and connect– has led us to see these meetings as places where our students not only learn but begin to build the research networks that will enrich their lives and help create the broadest sense of community.

76th Lindau Meeting (Physiology/Medicine)
OVPTL and Graduate Division are coordinating the UCI campus applications for the eighth annual class of the UC President’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Fellows. These fellows can be undergraduate, graduate students or postdoctoral fellows and will be supported to attend the Lindau Meetings for interdisciplinary work in Physiology/Medicine. UCI may put forward five campus nominees for consideration.

Award Information

University of the Office of the President (UCOP)  will provide funds for students and post- doctoral fellows to travel to Lindau, Germany to participate in a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Allowable expenses are covered by University of California travel policy. Fellows may be asked to travel to an orientation meeting prior to the Lindau Nobel Meeting, in which case associated expenses will be covered.
