  What is the Nobel Prize?

The Nobel Prize is awarded to individuals or organisations that have made the greatest contributions to humanity in the preceding year. Originally established in 1895 by Alfred Nobel, the prizes were first awarded in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. 

The Peace Prize recognises efforts to promote international friendship, reduce armies, and support peace initiatives. In 1968, a sixth category, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, was added by Sweden’s central bank. Although technically not one of the original prizes, it is commonly referred to as a Nobel Prize. 

The first Nobel Prizes were awarded on December 10, 1901.
