Internship: Media & Communications

Since 1951, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings have brought together top-level research and the next generation: Each summer, Nobel Laureates meet around 600 Young Scientists from about 100 countries – accompanied by international media and public relations work.

In 2026, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings from 28 June to 3 July 2026. Our communications team in Lindau is excited for your support in the preparation and follow-up – and of course during the Meeting week as the primary contact at the Press Desk. For you, that means a steep learning curve and the chance to help shape a major anniversary communications campaign.
