Nobel Prize in Physics 2025: Putting Quantum Mechanics in the Palm of our Hands
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for bringing quantum physics from the subatomic world onto a chip.
After #LINO25, Alumna Sajal Arwish says nothing felt the same: the uniquely friendly, one-to-one exchanges with Nobel Laureates – from a panel on circular chemistry & sustainability to a Science Walk with Sir Stanley Whittingham – were truly life-changing.
Climate Change and Food Security: How to Manage a Web of Global Challenges
Global Challenges: Hunger, Climate, and the Cost of Inaction. At the 2025 Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences, David Beasley warned that hunger and forced migration fuel global instability. In a high-level panel, economists like Lars Peter Hansen and Joseph Stiglitz call for pragmatic climate action, fair carbon pricing, and global cooperation.
A satellite image of the Korean peninsula at night – South Korea glowing with economic vitality, North Korea largely dark – captures the stark contrast shaped by governance, institutions, and economic systems. This powerful visual sets the stage for the 2025 Lindau Nobel Meeting in Economic Sciences. Some sessions referred to this topic.
Our last day at Lindau featured a sunny trip to Mainau Island, a powerful panel on institutions and development, and heartfelt farewells. As Young Scientists became Lindau Alumni, they celebrated with music, good vibes, and an unforgettable party.
Women in Research #LINOecon: Anastasiya-Mariya Noha
Anastasiya works in the areas of development economics and economics of education. Her specialization is in digital social-emotional interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and conflict settings.
Final day at Lindau Inselhalle: In addition to the always inspiring Lectures by the Laureates in Economic Sciences, David Beasley gave a passionate speech on the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the World Food Programme. Young Scientists shared their research, engaged in lively discussions – and all participants ended the day with a joyful celebration in true Bavarian style.
Banks, Brains and the Inbuilt Fragility of Our Systems
In two compelling sessions, economists explored the fine line between resilience and fragility, from the inner workings of banks to the behavior of everyday consumers.
Women in Research #LINOecon: Lorena de la Torre Díaz
Lorena's research line is inequality, particularly social mobility and factors that affect it. She is also interested in evaluating the impact of social programs, financial literacy, and gender gap, particularly related to STEM.
Another day full of insights: from election methods to climate policy debates plus inspiring talks by Young Scientists and a memorable Heidelberg Lecture by Yael Tauman Kalai.
