Internship Media and Communications: March – August 2026

What Makes Lindau Unique

Since 1951, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have brought together top-level research and the next generation: Each summer, Nobel Laureates meet around 600 Young Scientists from about 100 countries – accompanied by international media and public relations work.

In 2026, we will be celebrating the 75^th anniversary of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings from 28 June to 3 July 2026. Our communications team in Lindau is excited for your support in the preparation and follow-up – and of course during the Meeting week as the primary contact at the Press Desk.

For you, that means a steep learning curve and the chance to help shape a major anniversary communications campaign.

Your Impact

• Becoming a valued member of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings communications team (4 colleagues)
• Support of accreditation and liaison for international journalists in the run-up
• First point of contact for journalists in the Media Lounge during the meeting
• Planning and coordination of media conversations with Nobel Laureates
• Support in creating materials such as press releases, news items, and information for attending media (English/German)
• Owned media: editorial work for social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook) and the blog
• Responsibility for the Daily Recap format during the meeting week
• Support for implementing the anniversary branding

What We Are Looking For

• You are a student of communications/media/PR, political/social sciences, or natural sciences with a communications focus
• Strong interest in science communication
• Ability to convey complex content precisely, clearly, and engagingly, both for a scientifically literate audience and the general public, in German and English
• Structure, reliability, a sense of responsibility, and team spirit – even when things get busy
• Bonus points: experience with CMS, image/video editing, databases, digital tools, project management

What We Can Offer

• An international environment with opportunities to build great connections: work with Nobel Laureates, researchers, and media professionals
• Steer and deliver your own sub-projects with real responsibility
• End-to-end event communications: planning, on-site execution, and follow-up
• Insight into campaigns and storytelling for the 75^th anniversary in 2026
• Full integration into the entire team at the office on Lindau Island, Lake Constance
• Salary: €2,000
• If you’re relocating to Lindau, we’ll keep an eye out and help with the search for accommodation.

Apply by 11 January 2026

We look forward to receiving your CV along with a short, personal cover letter by email explaining why you want to strengthen Lindau’s communications – addressed to Daniela Thiel (daniela.thiel@lindau-nobel.org, 08382 27731 15). She’ll also be happy to answer any questions about the internship.
