Nobelpreisträger#

Nobel Laureates: The Nobel Prize is the most prestigious international award for special achievements in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and the maintenance of peace. It has been awarded annually from the interest accumulated by the Nobel Foundation established by the Swedish chemist and industrialist Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) on the suggestion of the Austrian B. von Suttner. The winners of the Physics and Chemistry awards are selected by the Swedish Academy of Sciences, the winners of the Physiology or Medicine prize by the Karolinska Medikokirugiska Institutet in Stockholm, the Literature laureates by the Royal Swedish Academy, and the winners of the Peace prize by a committee of the Norwegian Parliament (Storting). A Nobel Prize for Economics was founded in 1969 by the Bank of Sweden and has since then been awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
