Ig Nobel Award Tour Show 2026

Apr 23, 2026, from 18:00 until 20:00, EPFL, Forum Rolex

On Thursday 23 April 2026, with the support of the NCCR MARVEL, EPFL will welcome for the seventh time the Ig Nobel Award Tour Show, with Marc Abrahams and a line-up of Ig Nobel Prize winners. Save the date. The details of the program will be shared later. As usually, a great evening ahead!

The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that make people laugh, and then think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.
