Announcement Dates Set for the 2015 Nobel Prizes
According to the Nobel Prize's official website, this year's laureates, including researchers, authors, and peace advocates who, as envisioned by Alfred Nobel, have brought the greatest benefit to mankind, will be announced between October 5 and 12.
However, the date for this year's Nobel Prize in Literature has not been finalized yet. Traditionally, the Swedish Academy will later set the announcement date, which usually follows the day of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry announcement. Regarding the award money, due to the impact of the economic crisis, the prize amount has shrunk from 10 million SEK to 8 million SEK since 2012. Nevertheless, the specific prize amount for this year is not available.
Below are the dates set by the prize - awarding institutions for announcing the 2015 prize decisions:
