The partnership between Mars, Incorporated and the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings started over ten years ago. Mars hosts events at the meetings on some of the critical issues of our time with the aim to foster discussions across disciplines and capture a wide range of perspectives. Mars also supports young researchers to participate at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings and collaborates with Nature to make the dialogue at Lindau accessible to a global scientific audience.

The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster the exchange among scientists of different generations, cultures, and disciplines. Once every year, about 30 Nobel Laureates convene in Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 600 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world.
The meetings focus alternately on physiology and medicine, on physics, and on chemistry – the three natural science Nobel Prize disciplines. An interdisciplinary meeting revolving around all three natural sciences is held every five years. In addition, the Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences is held every three years.
