Mars, Incorporated and ORAU are pleased to announce that they will nominate and sponsor a maximum of 40 graduate students to attend the 64th annual meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau, Germany, from June 29 through July 4, 2014. Mars, Incorporated and ORAU invites your institution to nominate up to a total of three students (two students to Mars, Incorporated and one student to ORAU) to be considered for this very exciting opportunity. Information on the most recent meeting and comments from students who attended are available at orau.org/lindau/past-mtgs/default.shtml. In 2014, the meeting will feature recipients of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology. You may nominate students to attend this meeting who: • are U.S. citizens currently enrolled at a university as full-time graduate students; • have completed by June 2014 at least two academic years of graduate studies toward a doctoral degree in medicine/physiology or in a related discipline, but not be planning a dissertation/thesis defense before December 31, 2014; • be actively engaged in research, and • for ORAU, be at an ORAU member institution (orau.org/university-partnerships/members.aspx We are especially interested in receiving nominations from a diverse group of students, including women, minorities and people with disabilities. Please check orau.org/lindau for specific eligibility criteria of each sponsor. Information on the second (Economic sciences) will be forthcoming in about a week. The selection process for the Lindau Meeting occurs over three phases. The universities and National Laboratories complete the first phase by selecting up to two students per sponsor and submitting the nomination packet for each student. Mars, Incorporated and ORAU complete phase two by selecting the students to nominate to the Lindau Meeting. The final phase of selection is completed by the Lindau Meeting and its screening process. All three phases ultimately adhere to the Lindau Meeting’s selection criteria. All nominations from phase one must be submitted online before Friday, November 1, 2013 at 4:00 pm, Eastern Time. Nominees in phase two will be notified by December 31, 2013 whether they have been selected. An information sheet on the program is enclosed. Further information about the program, including the Web site for submission of nominations, can be found online beginning at orau.org/lindau/.
