The Nobel Prizes and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which began in 1969, is a set of award based on Alfred Nobel's will given to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind."[1] Since 1901, the prestigious Swedish Prize have been awarded 609 times to 975 people and 27 organizations.

Up to date, there has only been one Brazilian citizen[lower-alpha 1] awarded a Nobel Prize – the biologist Peter Medawar who won the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Australian virologist Frank Macfarlane Burnet.[2][3] – despite numerous notable Brazilians have been nominated.[4][5] There are noted Brazilians and Brazilian-based organizations who are members of laureate organizations such as the Brazilian Red Cross being part of the League of Red Cross Societies when it won the 1963 Nobel Peace Prize and the Brazilian scientists, Sérgio Trindade and Carlos Nobre, who were members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) when it was awarded in 2007.[6]
