#LINO24 Day 6 by Kyrylo Ostrovskyi The last day in Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings! It was so eventful. The day started with a traditional trip to Mainau Island, necessitating an early wake-up. The view of the Alps and Bodensee from the cruise ship was breathtaking, but the planned meeting with the 2022 Physics Nobel Laureate alain aspect was even better. During this meeting, Prof. Aspect was always ready to share his opinions on various topics (not only scientific ones!). For me as a chemist, this discussion was of particular importance. After disembarking on Mainau Island, we attended a panel discussion with David J. Gross, Donna Strickland, and Brian P. Schmidt where the issues of scientific data trustworthiness in the age of AI were discussed. Then, we witnessed the Mainau Declaration 2024 on Nuclear Weapons, signed by 30 Nobel Laureates. Primarily addressed in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I hope this historical event will help people understand the dangers of nuclear weapons. Following the closing ceremony, which was enriched by the music of the West-Eastern Divan Ensemble, we also had a Science Picnic: just great food in a great community! Before returning to the cruise ship, we also visited the wonderful Butterfly House. On board the ship, we had some additional discussions with Prof. Aspect, accompanied by food and music. The last one even led some Nobel Laureates onto the dance floor: we appreciated their energy! As we departed, it was evident that the Laureates and 2024 Lindau Alumni experienced mixed emotions as the meeting came to an end. Auf wiedersehen, Lindau! Hope to visit you again, if not as Nobel Laureates, then as journalists (as mentioned by David J. Gross)!

#LINO24 Day 5 by Denis Janković Today marked the final day of our formal conference at the Inselhalle, where, with the city theater, we've spent the majority of our time over the past five days. The day began wonderfully with an engaging talk by Prof. Reinhard Genzel, the 2020 Physics Nobel Laureate known for his discovery of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Prof. Genzel's sense of humor added a delightful touch to his presentation. The morning continued with another fascinating astrophysics lecture by Prof. Didier Queloz, focusing on the search for exoplanets. Later, I attended two inspiring Agora Talks, one by Prof. Kurt Würthlich and another by Prof. William D. Phillips, both of which were highly educational and motivating. The highlight of my day was having lunch with Prof. Takaaki Kajita, one of the scientists who discovered that neutrinos have mass. I had the privilege of sitting next to him, and along with nine other students, we engaged in an open, unfiltered discussion for almost two hours on various intriguing topics. We even exchanged business cards! Prof. Kajita is genuinely kind and honest, and the food at the restaurant was, of course, delicious. In the afternoon, I participated in an open exchange with Prof. Didier Queloz, who is exceptionally sunny and funny. Our conversation spanned a wide range of topics, from his research to his personal life and his thoughts on current issues. Following this enriching discussion, we enjoyed some downtime among ourselves. We spent time on the pier, filming videos, and playing with the swans. David even captured some lovely photos of the encounter. The day concluded with a Bavarian evening, where I had the privilege of dining with Prof. Serge Haroche and his wife. After the opening speeches, we enjoyed a pleasant conversation. My discussion with Prof. Haroche's wife, an anthropologist, was particularly interesting and enriching. Attendees were encouraged to wear traditional attire from their countries, and many, including our own Shanika, did so. The evening was filled with Bavarian activities, music, and dances. We had a wonderful time and took some memorable photos together. Tomorrow, we'll be heading off on a boat trip, but I'll let my colleague share more about that. Stay tuned!

#LINO24 Day 4 by Tristan GUYOMAR June 3 : What an exceptional and thrilling day at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings ! The day started for me with a session entitled "Next Gen Science: Cross disciplinary research". It featured outstanding talks covering a broad range of topics going all the way from design of portable, point-of-need diagnostics devices to the study of tipping points in the context of the climate crisis. All of the speakers were young scientists, whose talk had been selected by their peers and that particularly highlighted how interdisciplinary research can results in innovative solutions and cutting edge results.   I then felt very privileged to participate in the "Quantum Science With Trapped Ions and Rydberg Atoms" by Nobel laureates Serge Haroche and David J. Wineland. Questions from the audience emphasized the interest of the young scientists community for these areas of research, in particular the possibility of probing solutions from different fields with such quantum systems. The morning ended with a very pleasant discussion led by Nobel laureates John C. Mater and Brian P. Schmidt in which they discussed "The Greatest Challenges in Cosmology, and How They Could Be Resolved". The enthusiasm, wiseness and excitation about the many challenges in the field of Cosmology was really inspiring and contagious.   In the early afternoon, I was interviewed by the team of Alain Tixier, who is currently shooting a documentary about unsolved problems in physics for Canal . We discussed about self-organisation of life and philosophical take on evolution theory.   During lunch, we had arranged with the meeting organizing committee that a group of young scientists could be given a short talk to discuss alternative solutions to the climate crisis. It was decided that I will be the representative of the group in one of the "Next Gen. Science" meeting. I was really impressed to step on the stage to present our gathered thoughts but I was also thankful to the organization for offering such a platform for us and being so flexible. The whole thing turned out to be a really overwhelming experience that triggered a lot of positive comments and reactions from young scientists and Nobel laureates. In our speech, we emphasized the need for research leaders in physics to participate in developing alternative solutions to the climate crisis based on circular economy, donuts economics and a topic closed to my interest: low technologies. The discussion was even extended between a group of young scientists and Nobel laureate Eric Betzig.

#LINO24 Day 3 by Alexandra Lorange               The third day of the Lindau conferences began for me with a breakfast organised by the Mars company. Participants were able to attend a conference entitled "Complex Systems, Complex Challenges: How Can Physicists Unlock New Approaches?" The diversity of the subject led to many questions, making the conference very interactive. The day continued with presentations and debates led by the Nobel Laureates. The most interesting lecture for me was the one given by alain aspect, entitled "From Einstein and Bell to Quantum Technologies: Quantum Non-Locality in Action". The highlight of the day was, I think for all of us, our meeting with Anne L'Huillier. We were lucky enough to get an occasion to interview this exceptional scientist, and we would like to thank her once again for giving us her time during this very special week. The day ended with a 'Grill and Chill' barbecue in the Toskanapark. This gave me the opportunity to meet some of the people from Lindau, who had come to find out more about the world of research through our experience of it. It was a lively evening during which I was able to share and listen to many stories, and I can't wait to find out what the next few days have in store for me!

Yesterday, during the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, the French students representing Udice had the amazing opportunity to discuss in great length with Nobel Laureate Prof. Anne L'Huillier. It was a real honor and a really inspiring experience. The different things that we talked about will stay with me for long. If you want to know what questions we asked her, stay tuned, Udice - French Research Universities will post a recap of this discussion on their networks. Thank you again for your time, words of advice, and the really pleasant moment Prof. L'Huillier. I hope we can meet again.

Day 2 of our students experience at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings #LINO Day 2 by David Paulovics Monday, the second day of The 73rd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting has finally arrived. Throughout the morning we had the chance to attend to the lectures of Nobel Laureates and pioneers of science such as Anne L'Huillier, Anton Zeilinger and Sir Konstantin Novoselov who made us travel to Quantum Wonderland through Attosecond Lightpulses with Materials for the Future. These were closely followed by talks from Stefan W. Hell and STEVEN CHU and Ada Yonath on notions ranging from detection of fluorescent molecules through Shannon entropy to what polar bears can teach us about ribosomes. All these fantastic lectures are recorded and made available for the public on https://lnkd.in/g5VxQyFe. The afternoon started for me with the Sciathon Forum https://lnkd.in/gwVx6zNV, where I gave a pitch-talk with Rebecca Meissner on behalf of our other team members who participated in the Open Source Software Efficiency Project. The crucial feedback from the jury of business experts was invaluable for us. Right after this, I had a chance to go to a Science Walk with Richard Henderson, Nobel Laureate for the development of cryo-electron microscopy. We walked around Lindau island in a group of 10 young scientists, all completely absorbed in an engaging and inspiring conversation with the laureate.  The finishing event of the day, hosted by Texas A&M University made us travel over the ocean with an authentic Texan evening that would not have been complete without everyone riding an automated bull.  Another day has passed, and we finished with many take-away messages from conversations with Nobel Laureats.

Six jeunes chercheurs issus d'universités membres d'Udice participent en ce moment aux rencontres Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings en compagnie de 600 étudiants du monde entier et 35 lauréats du prix Nobel. Ils partagent leur expérience dans un journal de bord à suivre ici ⬇ #LINO24 Day 1 by Shanika Galaudage Finally, it was time to head to Lindau, and I met some of the other participants from France folks for the first time today. The organisers had arranged for most of us to travel together to Lindau from Munich. A solid 2 hours to get to know each other. We took a few snaps together, and it turns out a photographer captured this moment: we were the Picture of the Day! https://lnkd.in/gRdMXKxP   The excited energy in the room upon arrival was very apparent. I think we were all in awe of the number of Nobel Laureates that were in the same room as us. But I also sensed that the laureates were just as excited to see the Young Scientists. As said by Donna Strickland in her opening ceremony speech the laureates bring the experience and we Young Scientists bring the energy to the meetings. The evening was also filled with beautiful music by the Vienna Philharmonic.   My favourite part of the day, however, was the reception. Just being able to mingle and chat with fellow participants and Nobel Laureates was a treat. If this is a sign of how the week is going to look, I am very excited indeed!
