Nobel is an international award that has been awarded annually since 1901 to individuals who have achieved achievements in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, economics and peace.

This prestigious award was established according to the will of the scientific genius of the Swedishman Alfred Nobel (1833-1896). Alfred spent 94% of the property value, SEK 31 million (more than 3.8 million USD) and took interest annually to create 5 Nobel Prizes for 'those who, during the year the prize will be awarded, have brought benefits. Best for humans'.

The statement was made a week before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in 2017 officially began.
