Nobel Prize Day

Back to overview

The Nobel Prize ceremony takes place on December 10 every year. The Nobel Prize is widely considered the world’s most prestigious award. It has been given to people and organisations every year since 1901 for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize.

After the award ceremony, it is time for the the Nobel Banquet in Stockholm City Hall, with around 1,300 guests celebrating the Nobel Prize laureates.
