How can we be inspired to learn? Can teachers nudge us to find that thrill? How much are we willing to invest in learning? These questions and more will be discussed together with Nobel Laureates, world-leading scientists, policy makers and a curious general audience when the first Nobel Prize Dialogue will be held in Santiago on 19 January 2019 under the theme ‘Future of Learning’.
“We have a number of global challenges in terms of access to learning, the role of teachers and how to prepare students for accelerating change and a future that we cannot fully predict. During the day we will reflect upon our educational systems in a fast-changing world and reflect on what technology does for learning “, says Laura Sprechmann, Deputy CEO Nobel Media.
Physics Laureate Serge Haroche will attend the dialogue together with Physics Laureate Michael Kosterlitz, Physics Laureate Brian P. Schmidt and Medicine Laurate Bruce Beutler.
Serge Haroche has taken part in previous dialogues where he spoke about the importance of education and how it can improve the fortunes of all countries. He has stated: “The wealth of a country comes for the minds of its people. You cannot get innovation without good science, and you cannot have good science without good education. “
The Nobel Prize Dialogue Santiago 2019 is organized by Nobel Media in cooperation with Future Challenges, Science, Technology and Innovation Commission with the kind support from Nobel International Partners 3M, ABB, Ericsson, Scania and Volvo Cars. The meeting will be held in connection to the annual Futures Congress.
On 18 January Professor Serge Haroche will give a lecture and meet students at Universidad de Chile and Professor Bruce Beutler will do the same at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

About Nobel Prize Dialogue
Nobel Prize Dialogue is an open, cross-disciplinary meeting bringing together a unique constellation of Nobel Laureates, world-leading scientists, policy makers and thought leaders to discuss global issues that affect us all. A forum for scientists and non-scientists alike, the meeting aims to deepen the dialogue between the scientific community and the rest of society. The Nobel Prize Dialogue is free to attend and accessible to a worldwide audience online. The conference is inspired by Nobel Week Dialogue, which has been taking place in Sweden since 2012 on the day before the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.
