About Nobelprize.org

This is the official online source where you first learn the names of the new Nobel Prize Winners in October each year. Within seconds after the announcements are made by the Prize-Awarding Institutions, press releases about the prizes are made available.

In December, as the Prize Winners arrive in Stockholm or Oslo to receive their awards, Nobelprize.org reports about their activities. The Nobel Festivities and the Nobel Lectures can be experienced through live broadcast, or at your convenience through video on-demand.

Nobelprize.org contains information on all 776 Prize Winners to date. Here you get to know the Prize Winners through Nobel Lectures, interviews, speeches, articles, and much more.

The educational outreach program which offers interactive multimedia documents for high school and college students is popular among young visitors and teachers. (Read more »)

Activities by the Nobel Foundation and events at the Nobel Museum are posted at the web site and, of course, you also find a presentation of the Nobel Prize and the man behind it - Alfred Nobel.

This web site was founded in 1994 by Nils Ringertz, who was its director until his sudden death in June 2002. The web site has been known by the names "The Electronic Nobel Museum" and "Nobel e-Museum" until September 7 in 2004, when it was changed to Nobelprize.org. Since the start, the web site has been developed by the Nobel Foundation web group in Stockholm.
