'Lindau Nobel Community - the interactive home of the Lindau Meetings' recently launched at lindau.nature.com. The site goes live ahead of the 61st annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, scheduled for June 26 – July 1, 2011 on the shores of Lake Constance. This year, blogs in Spanish and Chinese will add to the English and German content on the site.
As in previous years, an international team of bloggers will report from the meeting. The blog roll is hosted by SciLogs (scilogs.de), a European science blogging service. SciLogs is part of Spektrum der Wissenschaft, the Nature Publishing Group (NPG) company that publishes the German edition of Scientific American. Yvonne Buchholz, publisher and editor of Spanish publication MinMente y Cerebro (Mind and Brain), will be blogging in Spanish. Yvonne's regular blog 'Pistas mentales' is hosted on Scilogs. Felix Cheung, Editor of Nature China, will be blogging in Chinese. Felix and Yvonne join a community of bloggers who will be reporting from the meeting in English and German.
The Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings and NPG are once again collaborating to make the Lindau meeting as interactive as possible. Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and interactive websites from NPG are mobilised to enable young researchers throughout the world to participate in the meeting. Videos of conversations between Nobel laureates and young researchers and a special Nature Outlook will be freely available to all.
This year's meeting is dedicated to physiology and medicine and brings together 25 Nobel laureates and 570 young researchers from 80 countries. Panel discussions, lectures, seminars and social events facilitate interaction between Nobel laureates and the scientific and academic elite of the future.
NPG and the Foundation Lindau Nobelprizewinners Meetings at Lake Constance will collaborate for the fourth year to produce films featuring one-on-one or small group discussions between individual Nobel laureates and young scientists. Produced by Nature Video, the videos will be made freely available on nature.com and on YouTube.
