Past Events
Saturday 26th September 2026, Magdalene College, Cambridge
It was a pleasure to once again host our annual lunch, where we welcomed Lindemann Alumni, Associates and Friends to The Parlour at Magdalene College, Cambridge. It was wonderful to hear such enthusiasm for both our Fellowship and Outreach work, which continue to grow and develop in exciting ways. We were delighted in particular to hear from alumna, Viv Cumming, who completed her Fellowship in Earth Sciences at Harvard in 2014 and has subsequently gone on to forge a very successful career as an award-winning documentary film-maker, photographer and writer.
Saturday 27th September 2025, The Guildhall, York
The Chair and Trustees of the Lindemann Trust were delighted to host Lindemann alumni for a drinks reception and lunch. It was a pleasure to hear from Dr Tim Craggs, Senior Lecturer in Biological Chemistry and Departmental Director of R&I, University of Sheffield, Founder and CEO at Exciting Instruments Ltd, and Lindemann Alumnus, 2010, who spoke about the importance of recognising the relevance that science research can and should play in every day life. Guests were also given the opportunity to have a tour of The Guildhall.
We were delighted to hear alumni speak to fondly of their Lindemann Fellowships and noted how, in many cases, it had been a pivotal moment in the start of their careers. 
Saturday 7th September 2024, Christ Church College, Oxford
The Chair and Trustees of the Lindemann Trust were delighted to host Lindemann alumni and outgoing Fellows to a drinks reception and lunch.
Saturday 21st October 2023, The In and Out Club, London
The event was an excellent opportunity for Lindemann alumni to meet each other from across the years, sharing stories of their Fellowships and talking about their subsequent careers. We were delighted to hear a short speech from Professor Themis Prodromakis, Regius Chair of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh and Director of the Centre for Electronics Frontiers. Professor Prodromakis completed a Lindemann Fellowship at Berkeley in 2011 and it was wonderful to hear how informative his Fellowship was, and how instrumental it turned out to be in shaping his future career.
We were delighted by the willingness and enthusiasm of our alumni network to support the continuation of the work of the Lindemann Trust, through the development of both its Fellowships and its outreach work, inspiring and facilitating a new generation of scientists.
Saturday 17th September 2022, Christ Church College, Oxford
The Chair and Trustees of the Lindemann Trust were delighted to invite Lindemann alumni to a drinks reception and lunch.
The lunch is a new initiative of the Trust, designed to re-establish contact and friendships as the Trust continues to broaden its work in supporting postdoctoral scientific research as well as outreach to attract young people to a career in science.
