Description
The Australian Academy of Science, in conjunction with the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF), supports early-career researchers to participate in the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. The fellowships connect researchers with Nobel laureates and an international cohort of early-career scientists. The described 2027 program focuses on physiology or medicine and supports meeting participation rather than a research project.
The Academy-supported program combines the meeting with virtual briefings and a structured SIEF Research Innovation Tour in Germany. Held in the preceding week, the tour visits research institutes and organisations in or near Berlin related to delegates’ fields of study. Applicants follow a competitive, institution-endorsed pathway, with Academy assessment and nomination followed by final selection by the Lindau Council.
