The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings provide a globally recognized forum for exchange between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. They inspire scientific generations and build sustainable networks of young scientists around the world. The first meeting was held in Lindau, Federal Republic of Germany in 1951.

     The Meetings aim to achieve three goals in line with the motto (1) educating, (2) inspiring and (3) connecting. The Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, in cooperation with the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, organizes the annual meetings in late June or early July every year, rotating among the disciplines of physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. The meetings last for six days, with an opening ceremony in Lindau on the first day and a closing ceremony on Mainau island on the last day.  The economics discipline has been held every two years, since 2004.

     This year (2024) is the 73^rd Meetings, focused in Physics and takes place from 30 June to 5 July 2024.  There are around 37 Nobel Laureates and Field Medalist and nearly 650 Young Scientists from all over the world attending, including six from Thailand. 

     Recruitment and selection of participants from Thailand to attend the Lindau Meetings (six participants each year) are organized by the Princess Sirindhorn’s IT Foundation, jointly with the National Science and Technology Development Agency.  Participants (young scientists) from Thailand in the 73th Meetings are as follows:
