22 Nobel Prize in Chemistry announced on site
The annual Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded to up to three people and two different scientific research.
winners were selected by the Bell Chemistry Committee. The committee consists of five members elected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In the first round of selections held in September each year, about 3,000 people, including university professors, Nobel Prize winners of chemistry, will receive a confidential nomination form. The form must be delivered to the Nobel Committee by January of the following year. After deliberation, experts will select about 15 people from the nominees. The committee submitted the final candidate report to the Royal Academy of Sciences for further consideration. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences finally selected the winners by a majority vote.
Nobel Foundation regulations stipulate that the list of nominees is never released to the public, and the nominees themselves will not know that they have been nominated. The nomination records were sealed for 50 years.
In fact, for international students, the Nobel Prize has some special significance:
Nobel Prize not only represents the commendation of the world's highest academic achievements, but also reflects the academic strength of their alma mater. For prospective international students, aren’t they a little excited and proud to think that they are about to become an alumni with the Nobel Prize winner?
In addition, for students who are still in the school selection stage, in addition to screening universities through major rankings, by carefully studying the list of Nobel Prize of major universities, you can also understand the scientific research strength and advantageous areas of each university from multiple angles. It is also a method that may be ignored by everyone.
Since the first Nobel Prize award in 1901 As of 2022, more than 900 people and more than 30 groups have won the Nobel Prize.
Foreign media have conducted statistics on Nobel Prize winners of higher education institutions. As of this year, the five colleges with the most Nobel Prize winners in the UK are Cambridge University (110 digits), Oxford University (56 digits), University of London College (30 digits), University of Manchester (25 digits) and University of Edinburgh (19 digits).
