On 7 December the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will open the Nobel week with a press conference, where we gather 2022 year’s Laureates in Physics and Chemistry, as well as the Laureates of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It will also be possible to conduct individual interviews with the laureates.
At the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences it has become traditional to start the Nobel week with a unique opportunity for media representatives to meet and put questions to the laureates for the prizes awarded by the Academy – Physics, Chemistry and Economic Sciences.
This year’s prizes were awarded for research about the power of quantum mechanics, how molecules can be built with click-chemistry and the role of banks for the economy. You can read more about the prizes and the laureates here on our website (see below). The laureates are: Physics, Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger, Chemistry: Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless, and Economic Sciences: Ben S. Bernanke, Douglas W. Diamond and Philip H. Dybvig.
Please request individual interviews with laureates in the registration form. Interview time slots are limited and will be offered as available. Please also let us know if you want to reserve a space for filming with a camera on a stand.
