Oslo - Up to 225 Nobel Prize winners will tackle the world's ills in one of the biggest concentrations of brain power in history in December to mark the 100th anniversary of the awards. About 32 Nobel Peace Prize winners, including former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, will gather in Oslo to debate conflicts in the 21st century.

Meanwhile, many laureates in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and economics will wrestle with issues like "frontiers in molecular science".
