About the Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize is considered the most prestigious prize in the world. The prize was founded at the will of the dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel.
He donated all his money to a foundation. He instructed that prizes shall be given to those persons or institutions who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to "humankind".
- After his death on December 10, 1896, the Nobel Foundation was set up in 1900, and from 1901 onwards, prizes were announced in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace.
- The Swedish Central Bank "Sveriges Riksbank" donated the money and set up a Prize in Economic Science in memory of Alfred Nobel in 1967. The first Prize in Economics was given in 1969.
