Nobel laureates lecture in Uppsala
Uppsala University has a long-standing tradition of inviting the new Nobel laureates to Uppsala in connection with the Nobel Prize ceremonies. On 13-14 December several of the 2023 laureates will give lectures in Uppsala.
Every year in December, the new Nobel laureates are invited to Uppsala University. The programme for their visit includes much-appreciated and well-attended public lectures given by the laureates themselves.
Everyone is welcome to come and listen. Several of the lectures will be live-streamed online. As the lectures often attract many listeners, it is advisable to arrive in good time. The audience is requested to be seated no later than 15 minutes before the lectures begin.
