8^th Lindau Meeting of the Laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

The Irish Research Council is pleased to announce that the call for the nomination of Irish-based researchers, working in the field of economics, to attend the 8^th Lindau Meeting of the Laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is now open.

The meeting will be held from 26 to 30 August 2025 on the island of Lindau, situated on Lake Constance in south Germany. Up to 500 highly-talented young economists are expected to take part in lectures, panel discussions and special discussion sessions. Further information is available at www.lindau-nobel.org. The participants, mostly graduate students, but also some postdoctoral and young assistant professors, will be recruited worldwide amongst the most promising young scholars in economic sciences.

Selection process:

The Irish Research Council, as a strategic partner with the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, runs a national selection process. Eligible higher education institutions may nominate up to three researchers at postgraduate and/or postdoctoral level who will be considered by the IRC’s panel of international assessors to attend the 8^th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting.

A maximum of three shortlisted candidates will be nominated to the international selection process, which is conducted by the Lindau Review Panel. This panel makes the final selection choosing the top applicants who will receive an invitation to attend.

Irish Research Council nominees who are successful in the international selection process and receive an invitation to the 8^th Lindau Meeting of the Laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences will receive an award which comprises €500 to cover their travel expenses for attending the meeting.

How to apply:

Applications are welcomed from postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers working in the field of economic sciences.  Those interested in applying should be nominated by their higher education institution.

Eligible higher education institutions may nominate up to three researchers each. Every nomination must consist of:

• the nominee’s curriculum vitae;
• a statement of motivation from the nominee (half page in length) which should explain briefly why they think that participation would be beneficial to them, their research, career and host organisation;
• a letter of recommendation (one page in length) from a highly qualified scientist who is either in a supervisory role for the nominee’s project; or who may be well acquainted with their work; or who is a leading scholar in the field and is sufficiently knowledgeable about them. This letter should contain the formal letterhead of the organisation of the person signing the letter. Please ensure that the letter of recommendation is specific to the nominee; and
• a letter of endorsement from the host organisation, signed by their president and specific to the nominee applying.
