Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens, soft media users 1520111, rain and snow for the delivery of clues! The Nobel Prize, the world's most famous scientific and cultural award, is awarded annually to people who make outstanding contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace and economics, CTOnews.com reported on September 18. This year's Nobel Prize will be announced in October, and the Nobel Foundation said on Friday (September 15) in Stockholm time that it would increase this year's Nobel prize prize by 1 million Swedish kronor (CTOnews.com) to 11 million Swedish kronor (7.15 million yuan) due to the sharp devaluation of the Swedish kronor so far this year.

"the foundation chose to increase the amount of the prize because it is economically feasible," the Nobel Foundation said in a simple statement. by the end of 2022, the Nobel Foundation had awarded prizes of 5.799 billion Swedish kronor (about 3.78 billion yuan). "

So far this year, the Swedish krona has fallen to record lows against the dollar and the euro, meaning Nobel laureates lose some of their value when translated into other currencies. Therefore, the Nobel Foundation decided to increase the amount of the prize in order to maintain the prestige and attractiveness of the Nobel Prize.

Since 2000, the Nobel Foundation has adjusted the prize of the Nobel Prize many times. In 2001, the bonus increased from SEK 9 million to SEK 10 million; in 2012, due to financial difficulties of the Foundation, the bonus was reduced to SEK 8 million; in 2017 and 2020, the bonus was increased to SEK 9 million and SEK 10 million, respectively. This year is the third time that the Nobel Prize has been raised since 2012, and 11 million Swedish kronor will also be the largest prize in the Nobel Prize's more than 120-year history.

This year's Nobel Prize winners will be announced from October 2, and the award ceremony will be held on December 10, the anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize. This year's Nobel Prize will have winners in as many as six fields, who will share this historically high prize and make greater contributions to the progress and well-being of mankind.
