8th Lindau meeting in Economic Sciences

During five days Laureates and about 400 highly talented young scientists will be invited to join a unique week of scientific exchange, inspiration, and networking during lectures, panel discussions, and small-size discussion sessions. The participants will be recruited worldwide amongst the most promising young scholars in economic sciences.

The call for applications from young Swedish economists to attend the 8th Lindau meeting of the laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is now open.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation are responsible for recommending Swedish participants to the Lindau Review Panel. The panel then makes the final selection. Participation is fully funded by the Ragnar Söderberg Foundation and the Foundation Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings.
