Application and Selection Process
Every year, a scientific review panel appointed by the Council is responsible for evaluating the numerous applications by young scientist from all over the globe who aspire to participate in a Lindau Meeting.
There are currently two ways (for three different situations) to participate in the official evaluation and selection process:
- Young scientists studying or performing research in a country where the meetings have one or more official academic partners have to be nominated by one of these partners. They may request from an academic partner to be nominated, however, no academic partner is obliged to respond to such a request, and it is the sole decision of an academic partner how to proceed with such a request.
- Young scientists studying or performing research in a country where the meetings have one or more official academic partners and who cannot get nominated because of their nationality (so-called ex-pats) may apply via “Open Application”.
- Young scientists studying or performing research in a country where the meetings have no official academic partners may also apply via “Open Application”.
The full nomination, application and review process of is conducted online. See “When to apply” for further information about the timeframe for nominations and applications.
Every year in September/October, the meeting’s academic partners nominate their candidates for participation. Young scientists who wish to be nominated should therefore contact the respective academic partner before October. Some academic partners also perform complex and/or nation-wide pre-selection processes, which require an even earlier application.
Open application is usually open at the same time, i.e., from September to October.
Once a participant has been nominated, he or she has about five weeks to fill in the online database profile. The data provided here is used for the evaluation.

A scientific review panel appointed by the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings is responsible for selecting the participants of each meeting. The reviewers closely examine all submitted applications. The applicants’ academic and research achievements, their motivation and dedication, their recommendations as well as extracurricular activities are some of the decisive details.
Every year in mid-February to March, the results of the application process for young scientists are published. All applicants are informed individually whether they have passed the selection process and will be invited to attend the up-coming Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.
Once accepted as participants of a Lindau Meeting, young scientists are supported in all organisational matters by the executive secretariat of the Council.
