 proudly announces the selection of an exceptional cohort of young South African scientists. These bright minds are gearing up to represent their country at the prestigious 8th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Economic Sciences, scheduled to take place in beautiful Lindau, Germany, from August 26 to 30, 2025.</p>
<p>In a highly competitive selection process, these talented individuals were chosen for their innovative research and potential to contribute significantly to the global scientific community. The selection process involved rigorous evaluations conducted by ASSAf in collaboration with the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSTI) and the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. This annual gathering attracts nearly 400 young scientists from all corners of the world, providing them with a unique opportunity to engage with Nobel Laureates in a stimulating dialogue.</p>
<p>This year’s Lindau Meeting promises to be particularly enriching, featuring discussions with 20 honored Economics Laureates on crucial topics like financial system stability, climate change, and the influence of institutions on economic development. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own research during the “Next Gen Science Sessions,” showcasing their work and sharing insights with a global audience.</p>
<p>The theme of the meeting has been notably inspired by the recent Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences, awarded to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson. Their award-winning research delves into the impact of inclusive versus extractive institutions on economic prosperity, sparking vital conversations about how history and institutional frameworks influence economic growth and living standards.</p>
<p>As a proud official partner of the Lindau Foundation, ASSAf takes its role seriously in nurturing early-career researchers. The organization’s commitment goes beyond selection; it includes preparatory workshops and outreach activities to ensure that the participants are well-equipped for the international stage.</p>
<p>In a move that demonstrates the commitment to fostering science communication and collaboration, ASSAf will undertake a pre-travel engagement for the chosen participants. This initiative will encompass a science communication workshop designed to hone their skills and enhance their outreach efforts.</p>
<p>With heartfelt congratulations, ASSAf and the DSTI celebrate the achievement of these remarkable young South African scientists. Their participation at the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is not just an honor but a golden opportunity to contribute to the global discourse on pressing challenges facing economic sciences today.</p>
<p>As we look forward to August 2025, it’s clear that South Africa’s representation in global scientific discussions is in capable hands, promising a brighter future for economic sciences across the continent and beyond.</p>
