Karolinska Institutet is one of Europe's largest medical universities. It is also Sweden´s largest centre for medical training and research, accounting for 30 percent of the medical training and 40 percent of the medical academic research that is conducted nationwide. In 1895 Alfred Nobel appointed Karolinska Institutet to handle the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The Prize was first awarded in 1901 and since then, five of Karolinska Institutets’ own researchers have been awarded the Nobel Prize.
