The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings occurs annually at the Lake Constanza, in Germany, and is recognized at a worldwide level, as being an excellent opportunity for the interchange of knowledge among scientists of distinct generations. The selection of the Brazilian participants is done since 2008 by ABC, by request of the National Research and Development Council (CNPq), an office of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI).
