The Nobel Foundation

The Nobel Foundation manages assets left by the will of Alfred Nobel. The foundation, established in 1900, awards the prestigious Nobel Prize each year for achievements in areas that were of interest to Nobel: physics, chemistry, medicine or physiology, literature, and peace. The field of economics was added in 1968 by the Bank of Sweden. The Nobel Foundation also arranges activities associated with the presentation of the prize and administers Nobel symposia in the prize areas. Born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel invented dynamite in 1866. Before his death in 1896, he had established companies and laboratories in countries worldwide.
