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.

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.
