Lindau Mediatheque
Albert Schweitzer in Lindau
A short documentary film commemorates the 70th anniversary of the first visit of a Peace Nobel Laureate to a Lindau Meeting. Albert Schweitzer’s visit in 1954 not only marked a new epoch for the Meetings but also had a profound impact on some of the 20th-century’s leading physicists that were assembled in Lindau.
Natural Experiments

Benjamin List
Fascination, beauty and elegance: for Benjamin List, chemistry is more than just science. The new Nobel Lab 360° takes you on a journey into the magical world of catalysis.
Genetics and Cell Biology
What are the current challenges and developments in genetics, biochemistry and cell biology? The Young Scientists of the 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting provide the latest findings from their work.
New Nobel Poster Series
How long does an attosecond last? What historical factors have influenced gender differences in the labour market and how can quantum dots give matter spectacular properties? Find out more about these exciting discoveries, which were recently awarded the Nobel Prize, in the German edition of the new Nobel Poster series!
Auctions
Auctions are a predominant market strategy that determines price formation in many areas of life and the economy. Recent research results of Nobel Laureates Robert B. Wilson and Paul R. Milgrom on the currently widely applied Simultaneous Multiple Round Auction (SMRA) are presented in the Teaching Guide.
Invention of New Reactions
Chemical reactions have often been discovered by accident. In his lecture given at the 1986 Lindau Meeting, Nobel Laureate Sir Derek H.R. Barton, who discovered what is known today to be the Barton reaction, describes several chemical reactions that do not obey the statistical laws of chemistry but have occurred by chance.
