The long-awaited 2025 Nobel Prize announcements are set to begin on Monday, marking the start of a weeklong series of revelations honouring some of the world’s most distinguished minds.
The final announcement will be made on 13 October, wrapping up one of the most anticipated events in the global academic and scientific calendar.

Complete 2025 Nobel Prize announcement schedule
This year’s series will open with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, to be unveiled at 11:30am CEST on 6 October. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will then announce the Physics laureate on 7 October, followed by the Chemistry winner on 8 October.
The prestigious Literature Prize- often the subject of global speculation- will be revealed on 9 October, while the Nobel Peace Prize announcement will take place in Oslo on 10 October, according to the Associated Press. The series will conclude with the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences on 13 October.
Each of these announcements typically sparks widespread global attention, as new names are added to the roster of individuals whose work has profoundly shaped the modern world.
The enduring legacy of Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize was created through the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish businessman, inventor, industrialist, and philanthropist best known for inventing dynamite. His fortune was dedicated to honouring those who make the greatest contribution to humanity in science, literature, and peace.
The selection process remains one of the most confidential and respected in the world. Candidates are nominated by invitation only- self-nominations are strictly prohibited. Committees composed of leading experts evaluate each nomination, and the final decision rests with the official awarding institutions.
Once bestowed, a Nobel Prize cannot be withdrawn- a reflection of its permanence and prestige. As the 2025 announcements approach, global attention turns once again to Stockholm and Oslo.
The world awaits to learn who will join the ranks of past laureates and carry forward Alfred Nobel’s enduring mission- to recognise those whose work brings the greatest benefit to humankind.
