Maecenates, Patrons, Benefactors

The Lindau Meetings of Nobel Laureates are made possible thanks to the support received from companies, associations and private patrons, on the one hand, and from national and state ministries, the International Lake Constance Conference and the European Commission on the other. The Council for Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and the Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings at Lake Constance would therefore like to thank all those who have contributed in so many different ways to the success of the Lindau Dialogue. It is the generosity of the donors that makes it possible for the world’s best young scientists of tomorrow to meet the leading authorities in their fields and to exchange ideas with them in direct personal encounters.

International companies, selected foundations, associations and private patrons assure the material basis for the Lindau meetings by making donations to the assets of the Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings at Lake Constance. Interest earned on the endowment, plus additional annual contributions, cover the budget of the Lindau Meetings. All patrons ‘invest’ into the best talents in research. Their financial support makes a decisive contribution towards ensuring that the selection process is devoted solely to the criteria of scientific excellence.
Donations in kind play an important role in raising the professional level of the Meetings. The Council and Foundation greatly appreciate the dedication shown every year by friends and patrons of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. Thus transport services, from air travel to the local car service, the technical infrastructure, the courier services, are all provided by world-renowned companies.

The success of the Lindau Meetings can also be attributed not least to the commitment shown by the Nobel Laureates, members of the Council and the Board of the Foundation during the preparation, realisation and evaluation of the meetings. They all give their support on a pro bono basis.
