Nobel Prize 2009 and all Laureates
The
Nobel Prize (Swedish: Nobelpriset) is a Sweden-based international monetary
prize. The award was established by the 1895 will and estate of Swedish chemist
and inventor Alfred Nobel. It was first awarded in Physics, Chemistry,
Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace in 1901. An associated prize, The
Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, was
instituted by Sweden's central bank in 1968 and first awarded in 1969. The Nobel
Prizes in the specific disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine,
and Literature) and the Prize in Economics, which is commonly identified with
them, are widely regarded as the most prestigious award one can receive in those
fields. The Nobel Peace Prize conveys social prestige and is often politically
controversial.
