1901-2026: THE GLORIOUS 125 YEARS OF NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY
Dr. Dhrubo Jyoti Sen*, Subhajit Samanta
ABSTRACT
A Nobel Committee is a working body responsible for most of the work involved in selecting Nobel Prize laureates. There are five Nobel Committees, one for each Nobel Prize. Four of these committees (for prizes in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and literature) are working bodies within their prize awarding institutions, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, and the Swedish Academy. These four Nobel Committees only propose laureates, while the final decision is taken in a larger assembly. This assembly is composed of the entire academies for the prizes in physics, chemistry, and literature, as well as the 50 members of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute for the prize in physiology or medicine. The fifth Nobel Committee is the Norwegian Nobel Committee, responsible for the Nobel Peace Prize. This committee has a different status since it is both the working body and the deciding body for its prize. Nomination to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is by invitation only. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later. The Nobel Committee for Chemistry sends confidential forms to persons who are competent and qualified to nominate.
