CHESS talk "Why and How the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony is Moving to Europe" 24. April 2026

The (in)famous Ig Nobel Prizes are relocating from the US to Zurich in 2026. The Prizes honor research that makes people first laugh & then think, from studies on scientists licking rocks to research suggesting pizza is healthy – when eaten in Italy.
Before the ceremony arrives in Zurich in September, CHESS will host a talk by Marc Abrahams, founder of the Ig Nobel Prize, at UZH. Marc will discuss why and how the ceremony is moving to Europe and how you can be part of it. Flyer (PDF, 90 KB)
