"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.
