"No prize for technology: Nobel laureates and the public understanding
of science"
                by

Professor Svante Lindqvist, Director of the Museum for Nobel Laureates


Alfred Bernhard Nobel acquired a huge fortune from the exploitation
of oilfields in Russia and from his invention of dynamite and the
detonating cap which he patented in 1867. He left the money in trust
for the award of international prizes for peace, literature, physics,
chemistry and medicine, the Nobel Prizes. The lecture will indicate
how the awards reflect the public value placed on science and
technology and how these values have changed during the last hundred
years.

Svante Lindqvist was formerly Professor in the Department of History
of Science and Technology at The Royal Institute of Technology in
Stockholm. He now heads the team that is setting up a museum to
celebrate the Nobel Prizes.



There will be a post lecture dinner in The Harwood Room, UMIST at 7.00
for 7.30 at a cost Pounds 20.00  (3 courses, wine and coffee).
