- dagw 5y agoScience prices including economics by Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien. Medicine is decided by a group at Karolinska Institutet (Sweden's largest hospital and medical school). Peace by a committee in the Norwegian parliament. By a committee appointed by, but independent of, the Norwegian parliament. Also the committee contains no current members of the Norwegian parliament.
