The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed for academic, cultural, and/or scientific advances. The Nobel Prizes are awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden; the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on behalf of the Nobel Foundation; and the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The Nobel Prizes were established by the will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist and engineer who died in 1896. Nobel's will stipulated that the Nobel Prizes should be awarded to those who "in the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind."

The Nobel Prizes are considered to be the most prestigious awards in the world. They are awarded in six categories: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace, and economics. The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was established in 1968 by the Bank of Sweden, and is not one of the original Nobel Prizes.

The Nobel Prizes are awarded each year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.
