Chalmers has a long tradition of highlighting and celebrating the Nobel Prize. Following the award ceremony in Stockholm, several Nobel laureates regularly visit Gothenburg and Chalmers to give public lectures presenting their research in an accessible way to students and the general public. There are often strong ties between the laureates and Chalmers as well, through research collaborations, academic exchanges or personal connections.

Many Chalmers researchers are therefore particularly well placed to answer journalists’ questions about the Nobel Prizes.
