Lindau 2023: Adding life to our years, not just years to our life

We firmly believe that scientific research, collaboration and partnerships are essential for tackling the world's most significant challenges, including food security, sustainable agriculture, climate change and global health. Our long-standing partnership with the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting(Opens a new window) exemplifies our commitment to fostering meaningful scientific dialogue and shaping a better world for tomorrow.

Our Unique Partnership with the Lindau Meeting

For over a decade, we've collaborated with the Lindau Meeting, an extraordinary scientific forum that annually brings together Nobel Laureates and over 500 top young researchers worldwide in Germany. This week-long event promotes scientific exchange across generations, cultures and disciplines, serving as a catalyst for innovation and knowledge sharing.

The Mars Contribution to Scientific Collaboration

As part of our partnership, we've joined forces with Nobel Laureates to host panel discussions on diverse and important topics. These discussions delve into the future of aging research, the elimination of aflatoxin risks from the global food supply chain and the application of physics in coral reef restoration. By leveraging the expertise of Nobel Laureates, we aim to facilitate impactful scientific dialogue that influences positive change.

Unlocking Insights in Health & Nutrition

The highly anticipated 72nd Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, focusing on Physiology/Medicine, will take place from Sunday, June 25 to Friday, June 30. During this event, we’ll host discussions with Nobel Prize-winners, exploring subjects such as healthy aging, the potential of nutrition science and the opportunities for scientific collaboration.

Two Mars-Sponsored Events to Discuss Healthy Aging

To further delve into the topic of healthy aging, we'll organize two separate Mars-sponsored events.

Mars will host its ‘Partner Breakfast’: a panel discussion featuring seminal neuroscientist and Nobel Laureate, Dr. Michael W. Young, who discovered the mechanisms underlying the circadian rhythm. Dr. Young, Hagen Schroeter, Chief Science Officer for Mars Edge, and a Lindau young scientist will discuss healthy aging, circadian rhythms, and the potential for nutrition science.

The following day will see a deep dive into the topic of healthy aging at the Mars ‘Partner Dinner’. Hagen will be joined by academic partner Professor Scott Small; Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Columbia University(Opens a new window), and they will present the findings of the COSMOS-Web trial.
