The very first Ig Nobel ceremony was held in the former MIT Museum building in 1991. We're excited to now host a new twist on this very popular celebration of scientific achievement in our new space. Ig Nobel: Face to Face brings 2024 Ig Nobel Prize winners together, in-person, with the opportunity to ask each other questions about their work, and answer questions from the audience. The event will be hosted by Improbable Research Founder Marc Abrahams.

The Ig Nobel Prizes celebrate ten achievements so surprising that they make people LAUGH, and then THINK. The 34th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will be held on September 12, 2024 in lecture hall 10-250 at MIT.
