Honeywell - Nobel Initiative

The Honeywell – Nobel Initiative is a global science education effort that connects university students with recipients of the world’s most prestigious award, the Nobel Prize. Students worldwide learn directly from Nobel Laureates in Chemistry and Physics through live on-campus events, interactive content and broadcast programs designed to link one generation of leading scientists with the next. The three core elements are:

Nobel Minds: Honeywell will be the exclusive Global Sponsor of Nobel Minds, a 60-minute Nobel Prize Series® broadcast that brings together the current year’s Laureates for a discussion on issues of global concern. Nobel Minds is broadcast each year in December on BBC World and other terrestrial networks, reaching 98 territories and 276 million households.

Honeywell Nobel Laureate Lecture Series launched at Czech Technical University in Prague on October 19 and 20, 2006 with Dr. Horst Stormer (Physics 1998). Since then, events have been held at Howard University, Penn State University, Georgia Tech and Purdue University.

Honeywell Nobel Interactive Studio: an online forum showcasing recent Laureates in Chemistry and Physics to help explain the science behind their Nobel Prizes. The site features Steven Chu (1997 Physics), Leon Lederman (1988 Physics), Mario Molina (1995 Chemistry), Richard Schrock (2005 Chemistry) and Sheldon Glashow (1979 Physics).

Funding for these programs will be provided by Honeywell Hometown Solutions.
