The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind." In 1968, a sixth prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established.
Hungarians have won (at least) 15 Nobel Prizes since 1905. Eight were born in Budapest. Following is a complete list of the Nobel laureates of Hungary, as recognised by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[1][2] However, if persons born as Hungarian citizens are included, then the number rises to 22 in the scientific field and to (at least) 27 in total.[3]However if all who claim some hungarian ancestry or citizenship are included then the number rises to 37.
