The Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings will compensate accommodation for four nights and transportation costs of grant recipients.

The 68th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is dedicated to physiology and medicine. Key topics will include the circadian clock, genetic engineering, science in a post-factual era and science publishing.
