Nobel Prize Dialogue Tokyo 2015

Seven Laureates join global experts to discuss the genetic revolution

On 1 March, 2015, seven distinguished Laureates and a number of world leading thought leaders tackled issues at the interface of science and society at Nobel Prize Dialogue Tokyo.
   Nobel Prize Dialogue Tokyo was the first Nobel Prize Dialogue to be held outside Sweden. It was inspired by Nobel Week Dialogue, which has been taking place in Sweden since 2012 on the day before the Nobel Prize Ceremony.
The day of thought-provoking talks and panel discussions was organized by Nobel Media and The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
    Approximately 800 guests attended this free event, and live-streaming increased our global audience.
The insights from the discussions continue to be available through online videos.
