About the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting: 

Established nearly seven decades ago, the Lindau meetings bring together 600 university students and post-doctoral fellows from around the world who spend one-week absorbing lectures by Nobel Laureates and interacting with them in smaller groups to discuss their 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.

Fellowship Description:

The UC National Laboratories Office will provide funds for up to nine post-doctoral fellows among the UC National Labs to travel to Lindau, Germany to participate in the 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. Expenses associated with that trip and any other trips authorized by the Office of the President for this purpose will be covered.
