Called Honeywell-Nobel Initiative, it will enable students worldwide to learn directly from Nobel Laureates in chemistry and physics by combining live on-campus events, interactive content and broadcast programming.

The Honeywell-Nobel Initiative is part of the $30-billion Honeywell's science education initiative, an effort designed to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists beginning with students and teachers at middle schools and extending to targeted universities around the world.

The Nobel Foundation is a private institution established in 1900 based on the will of Alfred Nobel and manages the assets made available through the will for awarding of the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace.

Honeywell International is a diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials.

"We are very happy for this great and promising partnership with Honeywell, which will give us further opportunities to develop the Nobel Prize series programming and by broadcasting these programmes globally, help encourage young people to feel inspired by science" said Camilla Hyltén-Cavallius, chief executive officer, Nobel Media AB.

The work will be carried out through Nobel Media AB and Nobel Web AB, the subsidiaries of the Nobel Foundation Rights Association and Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the philanthropic arm of Honeywell. As part of the Initiative, Honeywell will become a global sponsor of Nobel Media''s Nobel Prize Series and Nobel Web''s educational section on Nobelprize.org.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Nobel Media and Nobel Web to reach a global audience of young scientists and engineers," said Tom Buckmaster, president, Honeywell Hometown Solutions. "We are committed to providing students around the globe with the very best experiences and materials to support their pursuit of science and math ducation. Through these programmes, we'll have the ability to connect one generation of leading scientists with the next."

Laureates will participate in a number of on-campus events, including public lecture, 'master class' with science or engineering students and reception with faculty and university officials. The first three Nobel Laureates that will be profiled are Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Leon Lederman, 1988 Nobel Laureate in Physics, and Mario Molina, 1995 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. The Honeywell Nobel Interactive Studio will be launched in July 2006 and will be accessible through www.honeywell.com .

"The Internet provides a powerful tool to inform, educate and inspire young people all over the world via the renowned achievements of Nobel Laureates," said Alf A. Lindberg, chief executive officer, Nobel Web AB.

The Nobel Foundation, through the Nobel Foundation Rights Association, has established Nobel Media AB and Nobel Web AB. Nobel Media is a company which owns, produces and develops new media rights connected with the Nobel Prize.

Nobel Web produces and maintains Nobelprize.org, the official website of the Nobel Foundation and the most complete source of information about the Nobel Prize and the Nobel Prize Winners.
