Researcher Alex Inague was selected to participate in the 74^th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting on Chemistry. The event, set to take place in Germany from June 29 to July 4, 2025, will bring together early-career researchers from various countries and Nobel laureates.

“I am thrilled and deeply grateful to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, the Lindau Foundation, and the professors who have supported me for the opportunity to participate in this event. This year’s Lindau Meeting will bring together 35 Nobel Prize winners and around 600 students to discuss science and topics such as Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Chemistry, Sustainability and Science Policy,” the researcher said.

Inague completed his Ph.D. at the Instituto de Química at the Universidade de São Paulo (IQ-USP) under the supervision of Professor Sayuri Miyamoto, a member of the RIDC Redoxoma. His doctoral thesis earned an honorable mention in the 13^th edition of the USP Outstanding Thesis Award in 2024. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States.

“I look forward to making the most of the lectures and seminars, the chance to present my postdoctoral work, and, most importantly, engaging directly – whether in discussions or social events – with Nobel laureates and colleagues from Brazil and worldwide. I anticipate this will be a very enriching conference, both from a scientific and cultural perspective, and I look forward to establishing connections with my peers,” he added.

In Brazil, the Brazilian Academy of Sciences (ABC) was responsible for nominating candidates and submitting the names to the Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, which carried out the final selection of participants. Inague was nominated to ABC by Professor Ohara Augusto, director of the RIDC Redoxoma. Approximately 1,000 young scientists from nearly 100 countries will participate in the two 2025 Lindau Meetings, one focused on Chemistry and the other on Economics.

Established in 1951, the Lindau Meetings foster exchanges between Nobel Prize laureates and young scientists, inspiring new generations and strengthening global academic collaboration networks. The initiative was conceived by German physicians Dr. Franz Karl Hein and Professor Dr. Gustav Wilhelm Parade, along with Count Lennart Bernadotte af Wisborg, a member of the Swedish royal family, who saw the event as an opportunity for post-war European reconciliation. Since then, the Lindau Meetings have evolved into one of the World’s most prestigious forums for the exchange of knowledge across cultures, nations, and disciplines.
