The Nobel Prize is widely considered the world's most prestigious award, established by the 1895 will of Swedish inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel. Since 1901, it has been awarded annually to individuals and organisations that have "conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
The original Nobel Prizes covered five fields: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace; specified in Nobel's will. A sixth prize, the Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) in memory of Alfred Nobel.
