This series puts three of our young laureates in parallel with some of our very first participants who had brilliant careers in Luxembourg and internationally. Federica Maestri, Lynn Schneider, and Goncalo Fonseca had the opportunity to speak with leading figures in research, ask questions and formulate hypotheses in a fascinating discussion!
