For more information on the Meetings of Nobel Laureates in Lindau for early career researchers (ECRs) please visit www.lindau-nobel.org. Participation in the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings is supported through the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF), administered by the Australian Academy of Science (AAS).
Applications for the 2022 SIEF–AAS Fellowships to the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will be considered by an Academy selection panel and a maximum of 10 short-listed nominations will be recommended to the Council for Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
ECRs are asked to submit their applications to the relevant research office for their recommendations to the Academy. Submissions directly from ECRs to the Academy will not be considered.
The final decision regarding attendance at the 71st Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting will be made by the Council for Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. Decisions are based on the assessed competitiveness of the application.

Delegates will need to arrive in Lindau before the opening ceremony on Sunday 26 June 2022 and attend the full duration of the meeting including the official closing of the program on Friday 1 July 2022.
Following the meeting, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a SIEF Research Innovation Tour, visiting relevant laboratories and businesses in Germany and concluding on the morning of Friday 8 July 2022. This tour is also funded by SIEF.
In addition, successful candidates are invited and expected to attend a Lindau briefing event held by the Academy. Subject to COVID-19 travel restrictions, this briefing may take place along with ‘Science at the Shine Dome’—an annual Academy event to celebrate science and held at the Academy in Canberra. A travel grant of up to AUD500 will be provided by the Academy to assist with travel and accommodation costs if these meetings are held in-person. Registration fees and other similar costs associated with this event will be covered by the Academy, but the program does not provide funds for bench fees, managerial, insurance or visa costs.
Ideal applicants will demonstrate a strong commitment to their principal field of studies, that is, in chemical sciences related disciplines, and to interdisciplinary work, for example by double degrees or interdisciplinary projects.
ECRs are to submit their application to the research office (or equivalent) of their institution who will send their recommendations to the Academy. Each institution is limited to nominate for two grants on behalf of two early career researchers. Eligible institutions include Australian universities, Australian publicly funded research organisations and research-focused institutions.
The above must be current at the date of the Lindau Meeting (26 June to 1 July 2022).
Selection will favour applicants currently undertaking doctoral studies or postdoctoral fellowships.
Successful SIEF–AAS Fellows will be required to submit a report and provide evidence demonstrating that the funds have been appropriately expended within one month of the completion of the meeting.
A strong letter of support which highlights achievements such as academic excellence, conference publications, tutoring experience, awards received, print/online publications, extra-curricular activities and any other items of note specific to you is essential.
Applicants complete application form and submit all documentation to the relevant research office (or equivalent).
Research offices please return the forms and supporting documents of a maximum of 2 researchers to the Academy via email to lindau@science.org.au
