Alfred Bernhard Nobel, a Swedish inventor and philanthropist, bequeathed most of his vast fortune in trust as

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.
