Mit der Bekanntgabe der Preisträger in der Kategorie Medizin beginnt am Montag in Stockholm die Verkündung der diesjährigen Nobelpreise. Jeder Preis ist mit elf Millionen Kronen (fast eine Millione Euro) dotiert.

Overview

  • The week opens Monday with physiology or medicine, followed by physics Tuesday, chemistry Wednesday, literature Thursday, and the Peace Prize on Friday in Oslo.
  • Each category carries 11 million Swedish kronor this year, with up to three laureates allowed and any multiple winners sharing the sum.
  • Public claims about Peace Prize nominations, including those involving US President Donald Trump, are not confirmed by the awarding institutions.
  • The Prize in Economic Sciences, funded by Sweden’s central bank and not part of Nobel’s original will, will be announced the following Monday in Stockholm.
  • Germany has a strong recent record in physics and chemistry, while its last Nobel winners in medicine, literature, economics, and peace date back further.
