Funder: Australian Academy of Science
Due Dates: October 12, 2026, 11:59 PM AEDT (Submission deadline)
Funding Amounts: Return economy airfare up to AUD4,000, registration valued at approximately AUD5,500, Berlin accommodation and Berlin–Lindau train travel
Summary: Fellowships support Australian-based early-career researchers in physiology or medicine to attend the 2027 Lindau meeting and a research innovation tour in Germany.
Key Information: Research office approval is mandatory, and each institution may support only two applications.
The Australian Academy of Science, in conjunction with the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF), supports young researchers to attend the 76th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Germany, dedicated to physiology or medicine. The fellowships connect Australian-based early-career researchers with Nobel laureates and an international cohort of exceptional young scientists through a competitive, institution-endorsed selection process.
The Academy-supported program includes the SIEF Research Innovation Tour in the week before the meeting. Funded by SIEF and organised by the Academy, the tour visits research institutes and organisations in or near Berlin related to delegates’ fields of study. Fellows also participate in virtual briefings and report on their experiences afterwards. This is support for participation in the meeting and accompanying program, rather than a research project grant.
