On behalf of Interim Dean James AntonyJudy Kim, the UC San Diego Division of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs (GEPA) is requesting nominations for the UC President's Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings Fellows program. The program in 2024 2025 is a collaboration among the Office of the President, UC Investments, and the UC National Laboratories and will provide funding for up to 20 UC students, as well as nine postdoctoral scholars affiliated with the national laboratories, to attend the 2024 2025 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in Lindau, Germany. Please read the information below and submit nominations accordingly.

UC San Diego may put forward 5 nominations. 

Aims

The Lindau meetings bring together 600 university students and post-doctoral fellows from around the world who spend one-week absorbing lectures by Nobel Laureates and interacting with them in smaller groups to discuss their own research. The theme of the meetings – educate, inspire and connect – has led us to see these meetings as places where our students not only learn but begin to build the research networks that will enrich their lives and help create the broadest sense of community.

AwardWe are actively seeking nominations for these fellowships to attend the Lindau Physics Meeting being held from June 30 through July 5, 2024.

Nominations deadline is now closed.  

UC Investments and the UC National Laboratories will provide funds for students and postdoctoral fellows to travel to Lindau, Germany to participate in a Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Allowable expenses are covered by University of California travel policy. Fellows may be asked to travel to an orientation meeting prior to the Lindau Nobel Meeting, in which case associated expenses will be covered.

Eligibility & Selection Criteria

Overall selection criteria are provided by the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. In addition, UC will seek to ensure that qualified individuals from each of our 10 campuses are represented in the finalist pool.
