Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish inventor and philanthropist, bequeathed most of his vast

organizations that had achieved the greatest benefit to humanity in a particular year. Originally,
there were six classifications for outstanding contributions designated in Nobel’s will, including
chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature and international peace.
The prizes are administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for
economics endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden was added. Candidates for the prizes must be
nominated in writing a qualified authority in the field of competition. Recipients in physics,
chemistry, and economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences; and
physiology or medicine by the Caroline Institute; in literature by the Swedish Academy; and in
peace by the Norwegian Nobel Committee appointed by Norway’s parliament. The prizes are
usually presented in Stockholm on December 10, with the King of Sweden officiating,
an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. Each one includes a gold
medal, a diploma, and a cash award of about one million dollars.
