From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 7802mark (talk | contribs) at 19:55, 31 December 2005 (added Paul Berg as graduate of Penn State). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Nobel Prizes have always been a source of pride for universities, suggesting their excellence in teaching or in providing research opportunities. The following list provides information on nobel laureates and their affiliation to academic institutions. There has, of course, been great controversy on the question which institution was key to the contribution the respective laurates were honored for. Therefore, this list only speaks of affiliation and clearly indicates how the laurate was or is related to the respective institution. This list will, due to its nature, never be complete. Please participate in keeping it up-to-date. Should any controversy arise, please use the discussion page first before deleting or altering any information.

Notes

  1. ^ For the purpose of this ranking, "affiliation" is defined by the broadest possible terms to avoid any discussion on the parameters of an affiliation. Therefore, an affiliate is a noble laureate who can be classified as attendee, graduate, researcher or faculty at or of the respective institution. Laureates who qualify for several categories are only counted once.
  2. ^ The academic entity or any affiliated institution (for example: Hoover Institute and Stanford).
  3. ^ Anyone who received a degree from the academic institution.
  4. ^ Any laureate who attended at least one course or conducted research at the instution.
  5. ^ Any laureate who served on the respective institution`s faculty before or during receiving the prize. The degree of affiliation (adjunct, visiting, tenured etc.) is irrelevant for these purposes.
  6. ^ Any laureate who served on the respective institution`s faculty after receiving the prize. The degree of affiliation (adjunct, visiting, tenured etc.) is irrelevant for these purposes.

legend: * Nobel laureate who has more than one affiliation to the respective institution. To be counted only once.

The following is a list of university homepages listing Nobel Prize laureates affiliated to the respective university. Please note that the method of counting differs from university to university. Often, graduates are not included, sometimes, researchers and faculty appointments after the award are not counted. Please consider that some of the pages are not up to date.
