​Media accreditation: Nobel Days in Oslo

The media accreditation for all the official events during the Nobel Days in Oslo in December is now open. Note that individual accreditation for each event is necessary. There is no joint accreditation for all events this year.

Ever since it opened in 2005, the Nobel Peace Center has made annual Nobel Peace Prize exhibitions. This year’s exhibition will be the eleventh in the row, and will be the last one for the Nobel Peace Center’s Executive Director Bente Erichsen before she steps down in January. The exhibition always opens the day after the Nobel Ceremony, and is officially opened by the laureates themselves.

During the Nobel Days, three events are taking place at the Nobel Peace Center:

Press viewing of the Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition 2015 - The Tunisian Method
The Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition 2015 is about the National Dialogue Quartet. It tells the story of Tunisia after the Arab Spring, about the road from chaos and mass protests to a new constitution and free elections. For more information about the exhibition see the Nobel Peace Center website.

Date: 9 December 10:00 – 18:00 CET
Venue: Nobel Peace Center, Brynjulf Bulls Plass 1 / The City Hall Square
