On Wednesday 4th of September three former prize winners of the Abel Prize, the Holberg Prize and the The Kavli Prize, will meet in the University Aula for the 2019 Prize Winner Conversation. On Tuesday 3rd September the Studentersamfunnet i Bergen have invited three experts to discuss these previous laureates' work and where it can lead us in the future.
The philosopher Onora O’Neill, particularly known for her work in bioethics and trust, won the Holberg Prize in 2017 for her contributions in this field. To discuss Onora O’Neill’s work, we’ve invited Jesse Tomalty, Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Universitetet i Bergen.
The mathematician S.R. Srinivasa Varadhan was awarded the Abel Prize in 2007 for his contributions in probability theory, and particularly for his unified theory of large deviations. To discuss S.R. Srinivasa Varadhan’s work, we’ve invited Henrik Hult from Kungliga Tekniska högskolan Stockholm.
Ewine van Dishoeck was awarded the The Kavli Prize in Astrophysics in 2018 for contributions in astrochemistry, particularly for her work on the life-cycle of star clouds, and the formation of stars and planets. To discuss her work, we’ve invited Therese Jørgensen from the Department of Physics and Technology of Universitetet i Bergen.
The evening will be introduced by Pro-Rector Margareth Hagen.
Welcome!
