What is the Nobel Prize?
The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes that are awarded to people who have conferred the greatest benefit to humanity in the preceding year, according to Alfred Nobel's 1895 will. Alfred Nobel was a chemist, engineer, and industrialist from Sweden renowned for inventing dynamite. In his will, he directed that all of his "remaining realizable assets" be used to establish five prizes known as the "Nobel Prizes." Nobel Prizes were first given out in 1901.
Nobel Prizes are given in the following categories: physiology or medicine, literature, peace, physics, and chemistry. (Nobel characterized the Peace Prize as "to the person who has done the most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and the establishment and promotion of peace congresses").
Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1968 in memory of Alfred Nobel, which is also administered by the Nobel Foundation. Nobel Prizes are widely regarded as the highest honors available in their respective fields.
