uddrag fra hans biografi :

han har bl. a. undervist p� b�de norske, svenske og danske univeriteter.

Kristen Nygaard became in November 1988 the Chair of the Information Committee on Norway and the EEC, in August 1990 reorganised as "Nei til EU" (No to European Union Membership for Norway), the organisation disseminating information from a critical point of view about Norway's relation to the Common Market, and coordinating the efforts to keep Norway outside. "Nei til EU" became the largest political organisation in Norway (145.000 members in 1994, in a population of 4 millions). In the referendum on 28. November 1994 "Nei til EU" succeeded: 52.2% of the electorate voted "No", and the voter participation was the highest ever in Norway's history - 88.8%. He resigned as chair in 1995, and has since been the chair of the organisation's strategy committee and is now member of its Council.

In November 2001 he was, together with Ole-Johan Dahl, awarded the John von Neumann Medal by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) vith the citation: "For the introduction of the concepts underlying object-oriented programming through the design and implementation of SIMULA 67".

In February 2002 he was given, once more together with Ole-Johan Dahl, the A. M. Turing Award by the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) for 2001, with the citation: "For ideas fundamental to the emergence of object oriented programming, through their design of the programming languages Simula I and Simula 67."

In August 2000 he was made Commander of the Order of Saint Olav by the King of Norway.


tv-kanalen NRK er ogs� blevet fjernet fra dansk kabel-tv. hvilket har gjort
det sv�rere at f�lge me d i hvad der sker i norge.

en del nordm�nd er blevet nerv�se over ikke at v�re med. nu da EU udvides
med 10 nye lande. men man risikerer snarere tv�timod at denne store EU-kolos
braser sammen ved den mindste �konomiske eller politiske rystelse. s� det er
blevet endnu vigtigere for Norge at holde sig ude.

jeg har personlig m�dt ham, da jeg l�ste datalogi ved k�benhavns universitet.
han var der som g�ste-forel�ser.
