Bethe Circle

Hans Bethe, a longtime participant at the Aspen Center for Physics, generously donated a portion of his 1967 Nobel Prize in Physics to support the Center. Inspired by Bethe’s example, many other participants have followed suit—contributing part or all of their own award or prize funds to help sustain the Center’s mission. If you have received a professional award or prize and are interested in joining the Bethe Circle, we invite you contact us.
