The Spirit of Lindau: The Past, Present and Future of the Annual
Laureates Meeting  This video explores the story and spirit of
the annual Lindau Nobel meeting   The years following World War
II were dark days for science in Germany. But in 1951, a light
began to glimmer. Two physicians from the island of Lindau,
supported by wealthy Swedish count Lennart Bernadotte,
established a meeting of Nobel Laureates. At first they drew
participants from Germany and its neighboring countries. As the
years went by, the meeting grew to include young scientists
until it became the international gathering it is today.  This
video explores the story and spirit of Lindau. In the beautiful
settings of Lindau and Mainau islands, the most celebrated
living scientists work with the brightest sparks of the next
generation to learn about the benefits and risks of science, and
the value of scientific truth.  Rights & Permissions Share this
