Panoramic images enriched with multimedia elements ensure an exciting experience. Enjoy the trip on the Virtual Science Trail that has been made possible thanks to the Beisheim Stiftung.

During Graphene Study 2019 in Obergurgl, Austria, the European research initiative Graphene Flagship was presented as a new academic partner of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. The winners of the Poster Award during the event got a Flagship scholarship to attend this year’s Lindau Meeting as visiting scientists. From next year on, the Graphene Flagship will be able to nominate young scientists via the official application and selection process.

Graphene will also be a topic during the Science Breakfast at #LINO19.

The Council and Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings deeply mourn the loss of Nobel Laureate Manfred Eigen, who sadly passed away on 6 February 2019 at the age of 91. He received the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for studies of extremely fast chemical reactions.

Manfred Eigen obtained his doctorate from the Georg-August-University of Göttingen in 1951, and joined the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry in 1953. He founded the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen in 1971. 

Manfred Eigen participated in 17 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, most recently in 2010. The Council and Foundation extend their deep sympathies to Prof. Eigen’s family.
