Dr.-Ing. Simon Binder participated as a young investigator at this year’s Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau at Lake Constance. For a whole week, 33 Nobel Laureates convene with more than 600 young scientists from all over the world in Lindau. At the meeting, the Nobel Laureates shape the scientific programme with their topical preferences.

This year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting focused on the natural science discipline of chemistry. The formats of the varied scientific programme are based on the principle of dialogue and to activate the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experience between Nobel Laureates and Young Scientists. As a result, the meetings provide the opportunity to experience both the professional and the personal side of the Nobel Laureates.
