This year’s laureates are 14 in number, including one person and two organisations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Here you can find more information about the Nobel Week.

Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded 615 times to 989 laureates. Because some have been awarded the prize twice, a total of 916 individuals and 27 organisations have received a Nobel Prize or the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

The number of laureates participating in the Nobel Week varies from year to year. In 1950, 1991 and 2001, when anniversaries (50, 90 and 100 years) were celebrated, all laureates who had ever received the prize were invited. Excluding these special anniversary years, 2022 will see the highest ever number of Nobel Prize laureates participating in Nobel Week. This year we also have 25 laureates who are attending the Nobel Prize banquet for the first time, which has not happened before.

Here you can find information about the lauterates that are attending the week, the table of honour for the banquet and the preliminary timetable for the 2022 Nobel Prize award ceremony and banquet.

Nobel Foundation

The Nobel Foundation is a private foundation established in 1900 on the basis of the will of Alfred Nobel and the founding statutes promulgated in connection with the will. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the intentions of the will of Alfred Nobel are fulfilled. The Foundation is responsible for ensuring that the assets made available for awarding the Nobel Prize are managed in such a way as to safeguard the economic base of the Prize in a long-term perspective and guarantee the independence of the prize-awarding institutions in their work of selecting Laureates. The Nobel Foundation is also entrusted with managing and carefully developing the trademarks and intangible assets that have been built up during the more than century-long history of the Nobel Prize.
