Nobel Prize laureates by university affiliation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 been controversy surrounding the question of which institution was key to the contribution for which each respective laureate was honored. Each institution practices different methods for counting affiliates, from extremely generous counting to extremely conservative counting at such universities as the University of California, Santa Barbara (only current faculty). The present list only speaks of affiliation and indicates how the laureate was or is related to the respective institution; it does not clarify where the honored work was completed. By presenting the most complete picture, one can distinguish organizational influence.

[edit] 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 Nobel 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. ↑ Any laureate who received a degree from the academic institution.
  4. ↑ Any laureate who attended at least one course or conducted research at the institution, but did not receive a degree from it.
  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 only after receiving the prize. The degree of affiliation (adjunct, visiting, tenured etc.) is irrelevant for these purposes.
  • A star (*) indicates a Nobel laureate who has more than one affiliation to the respective institution. To be counted only once.
