“Educate, Inspire, Connect” is the motto of yearly Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings which completely replicates what this gathering is all about. Since 1951, Nobel laureates have assembled in the pleasant town of Lindau, Germany, to discuss the progression of science. Beginning in 1953, the gatherings integrated young scientist from all over the world to ingrain in them enthusiasm and acquaintance on science, while likewise giving an environment for fruitful collaborations. From June 30 to July 5, 2019, around 580 young scientist representing 89 nations accumulated in this small town on the shores of Lake Constance to directly interact with 41 Nobel prize winners. In light of this year’s theme dedicated to Physics, it was an incredible benefit to go to this gathering as a young materials scientist. In spite of the fact that it was an overall gathering of physicist, a considerable insights into current advancement and development in materials science was offered by the many Nobel laureates. My objective in this article is to share these experiences and to increase awareness of this interesting and unique scientific meeting.
