Join us for Nobel Calling Stockholm 2026
When the Nobel Prizes are announced, Stockholm becomes a meeting place for knowledge, discovery and big ideas. From October 5 to 12, Nobel Calling Stockholm invites the public to explore the research shaping our society, our everyday lives and our future.
Becoming a Nobel Prize laureate means becoming part of history. But behind every celebrated breakthrough lie years of curiosity, persistence and questioning. Research may sometimes seem complex or distant, yet it is fundamentally human. It helps us understand the world, challenge assumptions and find new ways forward.
Research that affects us all
As the world turns its attention to Stockholm in October, universities, museums, cultural institutions and other organizations across the city come together to celebrate research in all its forms.
Nobel Calling Stockholm offers eight days of talks, guided tours, live events and other activities designed to inspire, engage and make research more accessible.
The Stockholm School of Economics is taking part again this year with three events that approach knowledge from very different angles. Are we becoming less capable thinkers as AI takes over more of our tasks, or does it free us to become more creative? What can Nobel Prize-winning research teach us about financial crises, trust and resilient payment systems? And what connections emerge when art, economics and the history of the Nobel Prize meet?
Join us to question what we think we know and discover new perspectives on some of the forces shaping society today.
