The Nobel Prize is one of the most prestigious international prizes awarded for outstanding scientific research, revolutionary inventions or major contributions to culture or the development of society.
The Nobel Prizes were established in accordance with the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite and chemist.
The Nobel's will provided for the allocation of funds for awards to representatives of only five directions:
Literature (awarded since 1901, in Sweden).
Physics (awarded since 1901, in Sweden).
Chemistry (awarded since 1901, in Sweden).
Physiology or Medicine (awarded since 1901, in Sweden).
Promotion of world peace (awarded since 1901, in Norway).
In addition, apart from the Nobel bequest, since 1969, on the initiative of the Bank of Sweden, the prize in his name in economics has also been awarded. It is awarded under the same conditions as other Nobel prizes. In the future, the Board of the Nobel Foundation decided not to increase the number of nominations any more.
