In the Lindau Mentoring Hub, you can give advice as a mentor, learn from the experience of other members of the Lindau Alumni community as a mentee – or do both. Wherever you are in your career in science, you are only a few clicks away from connecting with your peers. Sign up for your account here.

The Lindau Mentoring Hub supports the Lindau Guidelines and aims to support talent worldwide through global cooperation and shared knowledge. Our platform enables allows or user-friendly mentor-mentee communication and supports collaboration.

Support from Nobel Laureates

The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings stand for the intergenerational exchange of scientists, in particular between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. Team Mentoring Hub is grateful for the support from these friends of our community. Here are a few supportive perspectives on mentoring.

Receiving good mentorship early in your career can be extremely helpful, and this is a great idea to connect talented early career scientists with a network of successful senior scientists.

The highest scientific achievement is shedding light on an interesting process that was not well understood previously. Namely, satisfying the curiosity, which should be, and actually is, the main driving force in science.

The mentoring relationship between an experienced, older scientist and a young scientist just setting out may be the most mutually rewarding personal experience in academia – both parties benefit enormously.

Eric Maskin, Laureate in Economic Sciences 2007

Like DNA, the molecule that carries our characteristics across generations – science is also transgenerational in its nature. We are builders, laying one stone, the next generation places the following one, and the building of science is constructed and getting improved forever, there is no end to science. The success of this everlasting enterprise is critically dependent on excellent mentoring, of relaying the torch with trust to the next generation, and on the deep belief that we are only a link in this chain.

About the Lindau Mentoring Hub Team

Our journey started at the first Lindau Online Sciathon in the summer of 2020: Ten Lindau Alumni, young scientists and young economists came together to work on the exciting idea of developing a platform for (aspiring) academics and scientists to find and interact with mentors.

Our goal is to make sure that you have access to the support and guidance you need, whether it is career advice, a technical problem, or a general interaction with an expert. Our project won the Lindau Guidelines category of the Sciathon 2020 and we started developing the Lindau Mentoring Hub in cooperation with the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, with support from the Dieter Schwarz Foundation.

About the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings

Since 1951, around 30-40 Nobel Laureates convene in Lindau every year to meet the next generation of leading scientists: 600 undergraduates, PhD students, and post-doc researchers from all over the world. The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings foster the exchange between scientists of different generations, cultures and disciplines.
