Hey everyone, I hope you all made some time to enjoy the pictures and the videos on the ICSU website. Hopefully we'll get the booth stuff sometime soon.

This meeting was truly a step forward in the promotion of intergenerational exchanges among the scientific community.
While most of the talks focused on trans-disciplinary, trans-national or trans-whatever collaboration, my feeling is that a true "down-to-earth" kind of contact was established with the senior community and that is one of the main points.

During the many coffee breaks of the meeting, collaboration, "getting together", "raising the profile of young scientists", "get involve" were words that were often used. It is a sign that there is a growing need to bring the community of young researchers under the same roof.

More importantly, I think that there is a growing need to involve young researchers in the decision-making process. The Lindau meeting was one step in that direction, and my feeling is that these meetings MUST be organized again within the framework of a young researchers organization, and by bringing high profile senior scientists at the table. Talking is key, let's make some time to do it.
