Cât valorează un Premiu Nobel. De unde provin banii

The Nobel Prize recognizes significant contributions to humanity in various fields, offering a monetary award, a diploma, and a medal. The monetary value is approximately 1.16 million euros, which can be shared among laureates. The medals are made of 18-carat green gold and can fetch higher prices at auctions. The funds for the prizes come from the estate of Alfred Nobel, who established the awards in his will in 1895. The foundation invests this wealth, generating returns to finance the prizes. Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to individuals and organizations for their impactful work, with a notable increase in female laureates in recent years. The foundation has specific rules regarding posthumous awards and the representation of women in various scientific fields.
