The Nobel Prize was established according to the will of Swedish businessman and inventor Alfred Nobel, who left most of his fortune to create these awards. His will stated that the prizes should go to individuals who have “conferred the greatest benefit to humankind” in the preceding year.
Nobel laureates are chosen through a careful process. Eligible nominators send nominations, and self-nominations are not allowed. The awarding institutions then review the nominations and decide the winners. Once a Nobel Prize is awarded, it cannot be revoked.
