What will it take to achieve health for all in the face of striking inequalities, ever-increasing demand for resources, and rolling geopolitical and humanitarian crises? 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.

With a focus on the economics and politics of health, this year’s dialogue tackled issues including how mental health, diseases of ageing and the prevention of chronic disease conditions must rise up political agendas. We also tackled how new discoveries and technologies — from AI to personalised medicine — can be harnessed for the common good. Discussions included the future of drug discovery, the rise of antimicrobial resistance, the economics of sustainable and affordable health provision and healthy diets.

Nobel Prize laureates included Frances Arnold, Paul Nurse and Jean Tirole.

Interview with Frances Arnold

“Science thrives when ideas get exchanged”

The risk of losing free flow of ideas and people is one of the most pressing challenges for science, says 2018 chemistry laureate Frances Arnold. In this interview, she also elaborates on the importance of enzymes in healthcare, the promises of AI and the uses of “useless” knowledge in science.
