Swedish connections: - Navi Pillay served as a judge in the Akayesu case — the first time an international court convicted someone of genocide. In addition to Pillay, the panel included Lennart Aspegren, a Swedish judge and honorary doctor at Stockholm University. He passed away on 21 May 2026.

My comment on the Nobel Peace prize being awarded Navi Pillay: This prize does not mean that international justice has arrived — it means the world still believes that those who have devoted their lives to pursuing it deserve to be recognized.

Chad Finley, professor of astroparticle physics at Stockholm University, has worked with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory for 20 years. When it was announced that research conducted at IceCube had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, he was in shock. "It was surreal, I just couldn't believe it."

We are in the middle of Nobel Week when this year’s laureates are announced and when #NobelCalling is held in Stockholm. If you are on campus, we want to remind you about the opportunity to take a photo of yourself with a Nobel background. You find the photo booth in the Student House until Friday.
