Introducing Lindau Moments: Alumni Stories Shaped by the Lindau Meetings

Published on May 11, 2026

Lindau Moments is a new video series highlighting impactful stories of encounters at the Lindau Meetings to celebrate our 75th anniversary.

Our first episode features 2018 Lindau Alumnus David Niyukuri . After conversations in Lindau, David shifted his research focus to malaria, built a small lab through connections he made here, and today works as a malaria researcher at the University of Burundi and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin
His story is a great example of how the Lindau Meetings don’t end when the event does – they can redirect careers and strengthen global research communities.

▶️ Watch David’s Lindau Moment – and stay tuned for more stories from alumni around the world.
