The Nobel Prize
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been presented to the winners on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. At the award ceremony in the Stockholm Concert Hall, the king of Sweden hands each winner a diploma and a medal. The ceremony is followed by a large banquet for about 1300 people. Present at the banquet are the Nobel Prize winners and their families, the King and the Queen, and many well-known leaders in science and culture. Two hundred and fifty young students are also invited to this important occasion. After the award ceremony, prize winners usually give a lecture on a subject connected to their prize-winning work.
