"It is my express wish that in awarding the prizes
no consideration whatever shall be given to the
nationality of the candidates, but that the most
worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be
Scandinavian or not" (quote from the English
translation of Alfred Nobel’s will).
Alfred Nobel - The Man Behind the Nobel Prize
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize •
has been honoring men
and women from all
corners of the globe for
outstanding achievements
in physics, chemistry,
medicine, literature, and
for work in peace. The
foundations for the prize
were laid in 1895 when
Alfred Nobel wrote his last
will, leaving much of his
wealth to the
establishment of the Nobel
Prize..
The medal of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska
Institute represents the Genius of Medicine holding an
open book in her lap, collecting the water pouring out
from a rock in order to quench a sick girl's thirst.
