The Bavarian Evening, organized by the Elite Network of Bavaria, is an integral part of the annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. This year, members of the Elite Network were part of this unique global forum again and took advantage of the possibility to exchange views internationally on the highest scientific level.
“The Bavarian Evening was a brilliant opportunity to network and talk to international scientists. The friendly and open atmosphere was special and unforgettable. I can only recommend applying for this extraordinary conference with Nobel Laureates”, says Tim Schilling, who holds a scholarship with the Max Weber Program of Bavaria and participated in the Nobel Laureate Meeting this year.
In 2018, the Bavarian Evening was organized for the 11th time by the Elite Network of Bavaria. From its beginning in 1951 to today, the Nobel Laureate Meeting at Lake Constance has developed into a globally unique forum for international exchange amongst Nobel laureates and young researchers.
“39 Nobel laureates and 600 young researchers from 84 different countries show the international significance of this Nobel Laureate Meeting at Lake Constance. This scientific forum has established itself as a unique platform for top-flight scientists and young talents to meet and exchange their research and ideas”, Bernd Sibler, the Bavarian State Minister of Education, stated at the 68th Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau.
Within the context of the Bavarian Evening, which is traditionally organized by the Elite Network of Bavaria, Tanja Müller and Dr Andreas Puschnik presented their current research projects. Tanja Müller is a former student of the Elite Graduate Program “Neuro Cognitive Psychology” and currently investigates fatigue from a neuroscientific point of view at the University of Oxford. Andreas Puschnik, who is currently conducting research at Stanford University, presented his new approach to viral infections.
With their presentations, these two members of the Elite Network of Bavaria were in line with the core topics of that year’s Nobel Laureate meeting. Amongst others, this year’s topics included the biological clock, personalized medicine, genetic engineering and the role of science in a post-factual era.
