Nobel Calling Stockholm

During the first week of October, this year’s Nobel Prize laureates will receive their magic phone calls and the world’s spotlight will be on research, science, literature and peace efforts that will confer great benefits on us all. But in what way? The Nobel Prize Museum will be your guide throughout the week, presenting topical conversations and programmes about the new prizes.

In partnership with a number of other actors, the museum is also organising other activities all over Stockholm. Many of these activities are free, some are in English and some require a ticket. Visit world-leading labs, feel like a Nobel Prize laureate in the Blue Hall, participate in conversations about literature, peace and the brand-new Nobel Prizes, listen to earlier Nobel Prize laureates and much more as we celebrate progress, new ideas and discoveries during Nobel Calling Stockholm.

Here you will find the full programme and everything you need to know. Welcome!
