The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in Swedish Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien, is one of the royal academies of Sweden. It was founded on 2 June 1739 and is an independent, non-governmental scientific organization that takes special responsibility for promoting the natural sciences and mathematics and strengthening their influence in society. It aims to be a forum where researchers meet across subject boundaries, to support younger researchers and to reward outstanding research. Every year it awards the Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel and the Crafoord Prize, among other awards. It is located in the Royal National City Park in the Stockholm region.
