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 chemistry. Check http://www.lindau-nobel.de for meeting details.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU). and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are honored to have been invited to bring groups of top young researchers to this year's meeting, which is being held July 1-5, 2002. The DOE/ORAU/NIST delegation consists of U.S. doctoral students whose current research at their universities is funded by DOE or NIST. 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 chemistry 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 Campbell at campbepb@orau.gov.
