The usefulness of useless knowledge? | Nobel Week Dialogue 2025 | Health For All

Nobel Prize laureates Frances Arnold and Paul Nurse come together with John-Arne Røttingen, Chief Executive Officer of Wellcome, to discuss how to strike the right balance between discovery research, understanding how life works, and applications to medicine. How can research make an impact on our lives? Moderated by Adam Smith. At the Nobel Week Dialogue 2025 in Gothenburg, we brought together Nobel Prize laureates, academics, innovators and policymakers to explore one of the most urgent challenges of our time: how to deliver equitable, effective, and sustainable healthcare in the 21st century.
