71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting – Lindau Island

Opening day of the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting: The opening ceremony featured greetings from multiple top-class guests. The academic programme was then kicked off by the Lecture of the 2021 Nobel Laureate Sir David W.C. MacMillan and a Panel Discussion about “Trust in Science, Trust in Chemistry”. 

Quote of the Day

“It was precisely in this spirit that the meetings were founded in 1951: To enable cooperation in science again after the devastating world war, especially and particularly among formerly hostile states.”

Countess Bettina Bernadotte, President of the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting

It was the first lecture to take place on-site in Lindau in two years, and at the same time held by a Laureate, who is attending the meeting for the first time.
