The Nobel Prize 2022

Today we celebrate the Nobel Prize ceremony in Sweden.

On 10 December 1901 the first Nobel Prizes were awarded, in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. Since then the economy prize has been added to the list of awards.

The prize ceremonies take place annually. Each recipient receives a gold medal, a diploma and a monetary award. In 2021, the Nobel Prize monetary award is 10,000,000 SEK.

In Sweden we are proud of this institution, by many considered the most prestigious award in the world. It is a driver for scientific research, development and innovation and the awarded laureates’ innovations have saved the life of millions of people.
