Introduction
Since 1951, Nobel Laureates in chemistry,
physics, and physiology/medicine convene annually in Lindau,
Germany, to have open and informal meetings with students and
young researchers. The meetings rotate by discipline each
year. This year's event will focus on physics.
The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) and Oak Ridge Associated
Universities (ORAU) are honored to have been invited to bring
groups of top young researchers to this year's meeting, which is
being held June 25-29, 2001. The DOE/ORAU delegation consists of 38
U.S. doctoral students whose current research at their
universities is funded by DOE. These students will travel to
Lindau to participate in discussions with the Nobel Laureates as
well as fellow young researchers from around the world.
The Laureates will lecture on the topic
of their choice related to physics in the morning and participate
in discussions with the students in the afternoons and some
evenings.
In addition to this valuable interaction,
the participants will enjoy the picturesque island city of Lindau,
which is located at the eastern end of Lake Constance, just north
of the Swiss Alps. Located at the common border of Austria,
Germany, and Switzerland, the medieval city is rich in central
European culture.
The program is being administered by the
Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) for DOE and
ORAU. For more information, contact Priscilla
