Everything about The Nobel Foundation totally explained
The
Nobel Foundation (
Swedish:

Nobel Prizes. The Foundation is based on the last will of

Nobel Symposia
In 1965, the Foundation initiated the Nobel Symposia, a program that holds symposia "devoted to areas of science where breakthroughs are occurring or deal with other topics of primary cultural or social significance." The symposia has covered topics such as
prostaglandins,
chemical kinetics,
diabetes mellitus,
string theory,
cosmology, and the
Cold War in the 1980s. The Nobel Symposium Committee consists of members from the Nobel Committees in Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine; the Prize Committee for Economics; the
Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation; and the
Wallenberg Foundation. The plan was announced at
nanoTX 07. The Nobel Foundation quickly reacted by threatening legal action for infringement of their trademark.
