The Council and Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings deeply mourn the loss of Sten Orrenius, Professor Emeritus at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. Professor Orrenius was a member of the Nobel Assembly (1971 – 2003), a member of the Nobel Committee (1983 – 1989, 1996 – 2002) at Karolinska Institutet and of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences (since 1989).

At the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings he was a founding member of the Foundation and a member of the Council from 1993 – 2003, since then he continued to support the Lindau Meetings as a Corresponding Council Member. The Council and Foundation extend their deep sympathies to Sten Orrenius’ wife Birgit and the whole family.

373 Young Economists from 60 countries are invited to the 7th Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences. This was the result of the decision taken today by the Council for the Meetings to conclude the nomination and selection process.

Due to the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences and the interdisciplinary 70^th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, also planned for this summer, were postponed to 2021. The Young Economists will meet Laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in August 2021. They will also be able to participate in the Online Science Days 2020 and the Online Sciathon this summer.

The Lennart-Bernadotte-Medal will be awarded to Edmond H. Fischer, who just celebrated his 100th birthday.

Countess Bettina Bernadotte, President of the Council, about the scientist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1992: “Edmond Fischer is truly a worthy recipient. He inspired many young scientists for the ‘beauty of science’ as he once put it himself.”

Due to the current situation, the President of the Council will anticipate the ceremony in a video conference.
