Nobelinstitut
Nobelinstitut is a term for a number of scientific
institutes created in the various institutions that appoint laureates of the various
Nobel prizes. The nobel institutes are primarily intended to support the
Nobel Committees in their efforts to review proposals submitted for prize winners. They originally intended to also work as independent
research institutes in their field, but this role is now of less importance. The opportunity for the prize-awarding institutions to set up the Nobel Institutes was included in the
Nobel Foundation original foundation statutes. The establishment of such institutions was however not written in the will of Alfred Nobel.
Å.G. Ekstrand meant that the idea probably came from the chemist
Lars Fredrik Nilson.
