Against the backdrop of the continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the new crown epidemic, the climate crisis and the intensification of energy crisis, the 2022 Nobel Prize will be drawn from October 3.
Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic in the first two years, the award ceremony process canceled the traditional award ceremony and dinner, and changed to live broadcast on the Internet and TV. Only the Norwegian Nobel Committee held a small award ceremony for the Peace Prize last year in the Norwegian capital Oslo .
This year, traditional rituals will return in full. In December, the 2022 Nobel Prize winners will be invited to attend the award ceremony and dinner at the Swedish capital Stockholm .
From October 3 to 7, the Nobel Committee will announce the Physiology or Medicine Prize , Physics Prize, Chemistry Prize, Literature Prize and Peace Prize. Among them, the Peace Prize was promulgated by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
html On the 110th, the committee will announce the Economics Award, which is the last award. This year's prize is 10 million Swedish kroner (approximately RMB 6.41 million) per award. If multiple people win a prize, the prize will be evenly divided., except for announcing the final winners, the committee will not disclose the list of candidates to the public. Before the final results were released, predicting who would win the award became an annual event for media and bookmakers.
Compared with the obscure physiology or medicine prizes, physics prizes and chemistry prizes, the literature prizes and the peace prizes are popular awards for prediction and betting every year.
Among them, the Literature Award is recognized as the most difficult to predict. Last year's Literature Award winner Abdulrazak Gurnah didn't even appear on the odds list of British bookmaker Nicer Odds.
is on the odds list of Nicer Odds EU version this year, ranking the top three are French writer Michel Houellebecq, Kenyan -born writer Ngugi Wa Thiongo and Indian-American dual-language writer Salman Rushdie.
Among them, Rushdie was attacked while attending an event in New York in August this year and was stabbed in many places in the neck and other places. His novel "Psalm Satan" has caused great controversy. Rushdie himself was chased by Iran and is still regarded as a mortal enemy by radical religious figures.
Chinese writers Yu Hua and Canxue are on the list again, and Canxue ranks 20th on the EU list.
But for this year's Peace Prize, Nicer Odds did not release the odds list. The website only stated that this year's Peace Prize is the most competitive since the establishment of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1895.
Nobel Committee statistics show that there are 343 candidates for this year's Peace Prize, 251 are individuals and 92 are institutions. This is also the second largest number of candidates since the establishment of the Nobel Peace Prize. The most candidates for
were in 2016, with 376 candidates that year. Last year, the Peace Prize candidates were 329, the second highest in history before this year.
media generally predicts that given the continued impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict around the world, this year's Peace Prize will be related to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and may also cause the most controversy.
Several members of the European Parliament demanded that the peace prize be awarded to Ukrainian President Zelensky. But Dan Smith, director of the Stockholm Peace Institute, pointed out that the tradition of the Peace Prize is to commend those who end conflict, not wartime leaders.
Smith predicts that International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or organizations and individuals fighting climate change are more likely to receive a peace prize. Against the stalemate background of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the IAEA awards highlight the calls for opposing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and also recognizes the agency's efforts to ensure the security of Zaporo thermonuclear power plant in Ukraine.
In addition, the International Criminal Court , International Court of the Hague , Russian opposition leader Navani, and Belarusian opposition leader Jikhanovskaya are all popular candidates.
Last year's Nobel Peace Prize winners were Philippine reporter Maria Ressa and Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov.
Historically, the Nobel Committee has also suspended the issuance of Peace Prizes.During the III of and of of of of of , the Commission did not award the Peace Prize, and only awarded the Peace Prize to the International Red Cross in 1917.
will be awarded the Physiology or Medicine Award on the 3rd. Neurological diseases, cancer science and mRNA vaccine technology are considered popular areas of award-winning. Other popular candidates include Mary-Claire King, an American geneticist who discovered the role of BRCA1 gene mutation in breast cancer and ovarian cancer; Stuart H. Orkin, an American researcher who discovered the genetic changes behind various types of thalassemia; and Virginia Man-Yee Lee, an American Chinese scholar who contributed to the research on neurodegenerative diseases.
In the physics awards, the past awards were mainly concentrated in four fields: particle physics, astrophysics , condensed matter physics , atom molecules and photophysics. This year's popular predictions involve quantum physics , carbon nanotube technology and optics.
predictions around chemistry awards focus on genetics , gene sequencing technology, semiconductor polymers, etc. Chinese American scientist Bao Zhenan , who made flexible "electronic skin" semiconductor polymer, is regarded as one of the popular candidates.
From 1901 to 2021, a total of 947 people and 28 organizations won the Nobel Prize, some of which won many awards. The youngest winner is the 2014 Peace Prize winner and Pakistani girl Yusavzai, who was 17 years old at the time; the oldest winner is the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, who was 97 years old at the time.
