Can AI receive a Nobel Prize?
What scientific breakthroughs can AI provide? Does its development affect the credence of science? Can AI change and affect the research profession? And should it be possible to award AI a Nobel Prize?
On 2 October at the Nobel Prize Museum,

Advances in earthquake forecasting
Each year, around 20,000 earthquakes occur around the world. Today, there are no reliable methods to predict earthquakes - but maybe those are not far away?
Welcome to a lecture with
Ayse Nyberg
, Professor in Nuclear Physics at KTH! By combining several measurement values, and analysing the data with the help of advanced AI technology, Nyberg and her research group have identified a connection between the radon content in the groundwater and the increased risk of earthquakes.

Open and accessible data – a recipe for research success?
Open and available research data has been debated frequently in recent years, among other things, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, where a vaccine could be developed at record speed thanks to shared data. But what does it actually mean that research is open and accessible to everyone? In this panel discussion, four researchers from KTH discuss the concepts of open and accessible data, its advantages, and challenges. Follow the talk on-site or online!
