Overview

• The 2025 timetable starts Monday with medicine, followed by physics Tuesday, chemistry Wednesday, literature Thursday, the Peace Prize Friday, and economics on Oct. 13.
• The Karolinska Institute announces medicine, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences handles physics, chemistry and economics, the Swedish Academy selects literature, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards peace.
• Each award includes 11 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million), an 18‑carat gold medal and a diploma, with up to three laureates able to share a prize.
• The Peace Prize is the only award presented in Oslo and often recognizes recent achievements, while the science prizes in Stockholm typically honor work after years of validation.
• Nominators may publicize their picks, including repeated nominations of President Donald Trump since 2018, but such disclosures do not influence the committees’ sealed process.
