The 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will be held from 25–30 June 2023. Around 40 Nobel Laureates will be invited to meet 635 young (35 years of age or less) scientists from all over the world to engage in face-to-face discussions. Young scientists who had been selected for the 70th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting and took part in the digital meeting are invited to participate on site.

Two invited young scientists are from Academia Sinica—Dr. Siew Jian Jing, postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, and Dr. Yuan-Hsuan Liu, postdoctoral researcher at the Research Center for Applied Sciences. Both had attended the online meeting two years ago and are re-invited to travel to Lindau this summer. And both are looking forward to attending the event.

Dr. Siew Jian Jing acknowledges that the specialized theme enables deeper discussions and targets knowledge exchange in the areas of physiology and medicine. He is excited to engage with experts from diverse fields. Dr. Yuan-Hsuan Liu is particularly interested in learning about AI's assistance and applications in biomedical research. He is especially excited about the opportunity to have lunch with Peter Agre, Nobel laureate in Chemistry, and hopes to share experiences and seek advice during this event.

The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings are a series of annual, scientific conferences held every summer to bring together Nobel laureates and young scientists to foster scientific exchange between different generations and cultures. Its annual theme alternates between the three Nobel Prize scientific disciplines— Chemistry, Physics, and Physiology/Medicine. This year’s meeting is dedicated to Physiology/Medicine. 

The opportunity to join the annual gathering of Nobel Laureates at Lindau is provided exclusively to outstanding young scientists, including undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers. In order to participate, they must pass a multi-step application and selection process.

The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting has been bringing together scientists from around the world since 1951, connecting a diverse, international community across generations with the aim of identifying solutions to the most demanding problems of our time. Once every year, dozens of Nobel Laureates convene in Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster an exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines. In 2017, Academia Sinica signed an MoU with the Lindau Council and the Lindau Foundation to become an academic partner of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
