Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

The critical role of science communication has gained greater appreciation in recent years and will likely continue to do. Learn more about the challenges and opportunities of science communication with this Topic in our Lindau Mediatheque. #scicomm

Attention journalists, bloggers, science influencers and other media professionals 📣! You can now apply for accreditation to partake in the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Physics, 30 June – 5 July) #LINO24! We’re expecting around 40 Nobel Laureates and over 600 Young Scientists from 90+ countries who will discuss current topics in physics that are highly relevant for society: AI, energy and quantum technologies.

Happy #InternationalDanceDay! Who says science and dancing don’t go together? #LINO23 participants certainly proved them wrong! Our International Get-Together got Young Scientists, Nobel Laureates and International Guests alike onto the dance floor. See for yourself!

Creativity is an important aspect of scientific research. At #LINO23 Nobel Laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier explained how she perceives the creative parallel between design and science and how it influenced developing the CRISPR project.

How can we be more creative and innovative in science on a day-to-day basis? #NobelLaureate Frances H. Arnold had some tips for Lindau Alumnus Alumnus Amin Kamaleddin at #LINO23.

Lindau Alumna Andrada Ianus argues that #artificialintelligence can help clinicians and researchers in medicine – but the technology needs to be used in a way that is transparent and explainable.

Today marks the beginning of #WorldImmunizationWeek, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of vaccines and promoting their usage. Need a refresher on how the immune system and immunisation work? Our 4-part Mini Lecture in the Lindau Mediatheque gives an introduction: https://lnkd.in/ex2faUGV

This weekend, over 80 scientists and engineers from around the world were on solutions to pressing sustainability issues. As a participant of the #Sciathon competition, our team focused on an often overlooked topic of energy-efficiency in software. With much of modern IT infrastructure being built upon a handful of open source libraries, even a mere 1% gain in efficiency has the potential to reduce global power consumption by an amount equivalent to 4 large power plants (~27 TWh per year). Over the course of 48 hours, our diverse team consisting of Rebecca Meissner, Michael Gatchell, Yevhen F., Enrique Rozas Garcia, Jose David Bermudez Perez, Nicola Cerutti, PhD, José Mejía, David Paulovics, Philine van Vliet, Brian Njoroge, and Johannes Postler shared their thoughts and ideas to come up with a set of strategies and recommendations backed up by two proofs of concept. We thank Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and organizers, especially Christoph Schumacher, for providing a platform for a truly global brainstorming event, with members of our team working together from Austria, Colombia, France, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, the UK, and USA. Although 48 hours is not enough to tackle the full scale of these issues, having this platform to raise awareness and promote sustainable coding is on its own an incredible starting point.   The abstract of the project can be found here https://lnkd.in/eKUwEewK   #open_source_software #energy_efficient_software #green_computing #sustainability #LINO24 #Sciathon Universität Innsbruck Stockholm University KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) KAUST PSE University of Gothenburg Universidad del Rosario Oasis Loss Modelling Framework Ltd.

Congratulations to all participants of the 4th Lindau Online Sciathon! 🥳 All ten groups who started the weekend made it to the finish line. It’s quite amazing: More than 80 researchers from around the world came together to work on ideas initially pitched by Lindau Alumni. The variety of ideas to come out of the weekend is astonishing. Equally amazing is the commitment and creativity by the Lindau Alumni and #LINO24 Young Scientists. On Friday, they met, often for the first time as teams were put together on a first-come, first-served basis. They quickly organized working groups, collaborated across a multitude of time zones and disciplines, and not only developed ideas, but wrote and edited a paper and on top of it all even produced informative, often entertaining videos on their project idea. An expert jury a scientific expert jury chaired by Heiner Linke, Scientific Co-Chair of the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, and including Kiana Aran (UCSD), Jürgen Kluge (Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings), Lindau Alumnus Karl-Georg Schlesinger, will now evaluate the results of the weekend and will select the most promising groups for the Scaithon Forum during #LINO24.

1 hour to go for the #Sciathon groups to submit their paper!🏁 At 17:00 CEST, we'll wrap up the weekend with a closing livestream hosted by Brian Malow. Tune in via the Lindau ALumni Network or on sciathon.org
