Welcome to the Academy’s official Nobel Lectures 2025, with this year’s Laureates in Physics, Chemistry and Economic Sciences.

The event is free of charge and open to the public but registration is required. Please note that we have separate registration to the Nobel Lectures in Physics and Chemistry, and to the Prize Lectures in Economic Sciences, see the links below.

There will be a security check at the entrance, we urge everyone to be at the venue in good time before the event starts. You will receive a QR code upon registration which must be presented at the entrance.

As part of our safety work, we will only allow smaller bags (up to the size of a laptop bag, 40x30cm), which will be checked at the entrance. It will not be allowed to bring larger bags (like backpacks, cabin bags etc) inside the building, and we have no cloakroom to store them.

If seats to either the lectures in Phycics and Chemistry, or Economic Sciences run out, we may be able to release a few more tickets closer to the event.
