The Nobel Prize is a prestigious international award, established in 1901 by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm (Sweden), based on the legacy of Alfred Nobel - the famous Swedish inventor and businessman.

Each year, this prize is awarded to individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to humanity in the fields of medicine, chemistry, physics, literature and peace .

In 1968, the Swedish Central Bank established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics, to further honor outstanding achievements in economic research and thinking.
