The event took place from 30 June to 5 July 2024, welcoming 37 Nobel Laureates in physics and chemistry, a Fields medalist and guests of honour in the Lindau Inselhalle.
Key highlights of the event included a lecture from the 2023 Physics Nobel Laureate Prof. Anne L’Huillier on attosecond science, while intersectional discussions took place on the role of artificial intelligence in our society, the hype and promises of quantum technologies and the Global Energetic challenge. A momentous occasion was the signing of the Mainau Declaration 2024 on Nuclear Weapons by 30 Nobel Laureates, echoing the historic 1955 declaration warning the world of the danger posed by the use of nuclear weapons.
Luana commented: “As a young scientist, I was given the chance to countersign the declaration supported by more than 200 other Lindau alumni.
“The meeting also celebrated cultural exchange and camaraderie, featuring vibrant Texas-themed and Bavarian evenings, a Mainau island excursion and numerous opportunities for informal interactions with Nobel Laureates, guests and other young scientists. We had the opportunity to ask many questions regarding science, politics, spiritualism and more. These experiences have not only enriched my scientific knowledge but also fostered connections with international peers and mentors.”
LINO24 has once again highlighted Lindau as a global hub for scientific excellence and collaboration, inspiring the next generation of researchers to pursue transformative discoveries.
