Every year, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry, and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Press accreditation for this year’s announcements at three different press conferences at the Academy are now open.
The press conferences at which the laureates will be announced are held at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. They are only open to the journalists and photographers covering this year’s prizes. Unfortunately it’s not possible for the public or communication professionals representing organisations to attend. Please note that registration in advance and valid press credentials are mandatory. If you do not have a press ID, contact the Press Secretary as soon as possible to discuss the possibility to attend.
Arrive early
This year we are welcoming a maximum of 80 journalists/photographers. The doors to the Academy opens at 9 a.m. CEST for media representatives. If you wish to secure a specific seat in the Session Hall, we suggest that you arrive early. There will be a security check when entering. For cameras on tripod (TV and video) a spot will usually be assigned beforehand.
Please follow the links below in order to register for a specific press conference. Registration must be made for each press conference separately. We need to have your contact details and information about which media you represent. If you wish to interview an expert from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences after the announcements, please note this in the registration form. Please also let us know if you want to reserve a space for filming with a camera on tripod.
Digital interviews as well
If you cannot attend in person, you can follow the live broadcast at www.kva.se or www.nobelprize.org (no registration needed). In this case, you may also make advance arrangements to interview an expert from the Academy via phone or video link after the announcements. For special requests, or to book an interview via phone or video link, please email the Press Secretary, press@kva.se, well in advance.
Venue: All three press conferences will be held in the Session Hall at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Lilla Frescativägen 4A, Stockholm, Sweden.
