The call for applications from Swedish undergraduates, Ph.D. students, and postdoc researchers to attend the 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is now open.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation are responsible for recommending Swedish participants to the Lindau Review Panel. The panel then makes the final selection. Participation is fully funded by the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation and the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.

The meeting will be held from 30 June–5 July  2024.
