For the first time the Nobel Week Dialogue will be open to all as we bring Nobel Laureates and experts together online to discuss the challenge of learning.

Be inspired and put your own questions to our speakers, who include world-renowned pianist Igor Levit, African Development Bank Group president Akinwumi Adesina and eight Nobel Laureates, including 2020 Chemistry Laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier, awarded the Nobel Prize for her work on CRISPR.

Join us online as we place the spotlight on learning, and explore how education can help create a better future: the future we want.

From the role of technology to the question of what we ought to know in order to meet the global challenges ahead, the themes discussed at the dialogue underpin our future. What works, what doesn’t, and what are the benefits and pitfalls of our new, digital world and learning at a distance? With billions lacking the resources or time to access such education, will technology truly deliver equality of opportunity?

The Nobel Week Dialogue will, as always, be a true meeting of science and society, bringing together an intergenerational group of participants from a range of geographies and backgrounds to discuss how best to shape the future of learning.

Nobel Week Dialogue is organised by Nobel Prize Outreach AB in partnership with Carl Bennet AB, City of Gothenburg, Ericsson, Region Västra Götaland and Volvo Group with support from the Carlsberg Foundation.

    The words School, Education , University, ECT. They bring into mind a
    BEGINNING and END.
    IT encapsulate the learning
    Which one find oneself limited to time.
    This could be called and changed
    as your guest stated,
    "LIFE LONG LEARNING. "
    This allows all to ecknowledge
    and Ascertain unlimited abilities
    Places of learning should be thought as algorithm.
    Food for thought.

    I am reminded of the song by AC/DC group relevant to the process of education-----It goes like this----"It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock and roll".

    I absolutely love the talk. I am a staunch advocate for the relationship between academia and industry also active learning which is only a fantasy for developing nations also,lack of exposure is a dilemma

    Mechanisms of human creativity is the center of education, therefore the revolution of education will soon happen because the mechanisms of creativity can be systematically researched based on the recent book “The science of psychological organisms: the mechanisms of human creativity”, written by Wei Chen

    The relevancy of what's being taught has to be applied to life today. I remember learning typing and spanish in Jr. High and high school. I hated both subjects with a passion. They bored me and simply was never given the answer to my question. Why do we have to learn these subjects? Had a teacher been able to communicate to myself and other students how both subjects will be required in our everyday lives, as well as applied to our future employments to a degree we would have become a more focused students. Typing, as it turns out was a necessity with several of my job choices particularly when I worked as a delivery man for UPS. As for spanish, many of the stores in the neighborhoods that I frequented owners and workers spoke spanish as they're native language. Often they're English was broken and hard to understand because of they're accents. No fault of they're own, they knew what they knew and did they're best to communicate with me. Spanish, also showed up during many of my deliveries while working at UPS. Later on I'd learn that people who spoke more than one language were valued more so than employees who did not speak a second language.
