The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided on the dates to announce the 2021 prize decisions for the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel. The announcements will be made in October. The registration for media will open in September.
Each year, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
The prize Laureates are announced at three respective press conferences directly after the decision has been made by the Academy. We are hoping to be able to arrange these press conferences on location this year, as was also the case in 2020, but we don´t yet know how many journalists we will be able to accept. We will get back with more information regarding this in the beginning of September.
The press conferences will be broadcast, without any pre-registration, at www.kva.se and www.nobelprize.org.
