Throughout this week, the laureates have taken part in activities ranging from panel discussions to news conferences, finding time to visit schools, and give lectures and attend a lights show.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden – Nobel laureates congregated in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Saturday, December 10, for the first fully in-person award ceremonies complete with a formal banquet since the COVID-19 pandemic that curtailed events in the past two years.
Many laureates from 2020 and 2021 will be attending this year as well as the 2022 winners – last year for example there was a ceremony but no laureates attended as they received their medals in their home countries.“Given the challenges the world faces, it feels especially important to highlight Alfred Nobel’s idea of international community,” said Vidar Helgesen, executive director of the Nobel Foundation.
Dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel left around 31 million crowns – about 1.8 billion crowns in today’s money according to the Foundation – to fund prizes for achievements in science, literature and peace awarded annually since 1901. The economics prize is a later addition to the original line-up, instituted by the Swedish central bank.
