Anders Olsson, chairman of the current committee, says this in a text message to TT.

“The work has gone excellently with fewer external this year. In October, following the announcement of this year's Nobel Laureates, the new committee will be presented, "he writes.

In December 2019, the external members Kristoffer Leandoer and Gun-Britt Sundström surprisingly announced that they wanted to leave the work of the Nobel Committee. The solution with a committee where five external experts would contribute to producing a Nobel laureate came about after the crisis in the Swedish Academy - at the request of the Nobel Foundation. Whether the new committee will also include external members has not been announced.
