Nobel Prize 2017

Today the mist prestious award in the world, the Nobel Prize for 2017 was awarded in Stockholm. The peace prize was awarded in Oslo as the tradition says.

On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his third and last will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris. When it was opened and read after his death, the will caused a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left much of his wealth for the establishment of a prize. His family opposed the establishment of the Nobel Prize, and the prize awarders he named refused to do what he had requested in his will. It was five years before the first Nobel Prize could be awarded in 1901.

The Nobel Prozes are prizes awarded annually by the Rpyal Swedish Academy of Sceinces, the Swedish Academy, the Karoniska Ibstitutet and the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The prizes are awarded to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, litterature, peace and physiology or medicine. They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel.

The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was established in 1968 by the Swedish National Bank.
