5th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Economic Sciences, 19-23 August 2014 – Invitation to Apply
Each year the Commission has the opportunity of proposing a limited number of applicants to the Lindau Selection Board for the annual Nobel Laureates meeting (see http://www.lindau-nobel.org/Upcoming_Lindau_Meetings.AxCMS for more details).
If you are or have been a Marie Curie with a primary emphasis in the Economics area, we would like to advise you of the possibilities.
In 2014 the 5th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Economic Sciences will take place on 19-23 August. This is a one week long opportunity to meet up to 30 Nobel Laureates in your field of research. It is a unique opportunity for you to meet the best in your field. You will have to fund your travel and the cost of the meeting through your current fellowship, or via support from your own resources or your institution. The estimated cost of ca. 2,500 EUR covers all activities for a whole week, including accommodation, food and local fees (i.e. conference fees). Please note that no further funding is available to individual applicants from the Commission. If you are selected to participate the activity may count towards the dissemination and outreach activities of your fellowship/project.
The Review Panel of the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings then selects academic candidates for participation based on the following criteria:
– A student (graduate or post-doc) candidate should be under 30 years of age, belong to the top of his/her class, and have strong recommendations from his/her academic advisor.
– A candidate should have a promising research agenda. Post-docs should have produced outstanding research papers on relevant subjects.
– A candidate should show a pronounced interest in the international dialogue within the academic community.
– A candidate should demonstrate fluency in the English language.
– Finally, the candidate should be motivated and willing to prepare himself/herself solidly for the Lindau dialogue.
