KU early-career researchers attend Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting

Katharina Hartinger, research associate at the Chair of Economics, especially Macroeconomics, and Philipp Krug, doctoral candidate at the Chair of Economics, especially Public Finance, agree: The stay in Lindau was a unique experience that will accompany them on their future career paths. Hartinger described the conference as a “tank of opportunities”. “This week was so important that its significance will only really transpire in the course of time. We can build on the experience there and start collaboration projects or send Nobel Prize winners an e-mail when we finished a paper, for example.” The combination of different formats at the venue created many opportunities for participants to get into conversation with Nobel Prize winners and other attendees: “The mixture of presentations, a trip to the island, shared lunches and coffee breaks was planned marvelously and added a special touch.”
