Dear Colleague,


Statistics is a cornerstone of science, health, industry, economics,
government and more, and benefits society as a whole. The Rousseeuw Prize
for Statistics awards pioneering work in statistical methodology. The prize
recognizes a statistical innovation, that is, an outstanding contribution
or tool that has had significant impact and found wide application in
statistical practice, with relevance to society.


The biennial Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics is awarded by the King Baudouin
Foundation (https://www.kbs-frb.be/en/about-us), a large public utility
foundation in Belgium. The prize is named after its sponsor, the
statistician Peter J. Rousseeuw. The prize focuses on the innovation rather
than on a single individual. This allows recognition of several individuals
who made significant contributions to it. One of the goals of awarding the
people who created such an innovation, is to promote awareness of the
important role and intellectual content of statistics and its profound
impact on human endeavors.

The first prize was awarded in October 2022, and the next prize will be
awarded in 2024. The award amount is one million US dollars, to be split
over awardees if there are several, which it is hoped will typically be the
case. The award ceremony is scheduled in the fall of 2024 at the University
of Leuven, Belgium.



The 2022 prize went to a topic in biostatistics: *Causal inference with
applications in Medicine and Public Health*. The laureates were James
Robins, Andrea Rotnitzky, Miguel Hernan, Thomas Richardson and Eric
Tchetgen Tchetgen. They carried out this research mainly in the United
States.

In 2024 the prize can be awarded in any of the other four subfields of
statistics: (1) general statistical methodology, (2) computational
statistics and data science, (3) statistics in the physical sciences and
industry, and (4) statistics in economics and humanities. To ensure
geographic diversity over time, the 2024 prize cannot go to work carried
out in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the
United Kingdom.

Nominations, including letters of recommendation, are to be submitted
by *February
29th 2024* on the website https://www.rousseeuwprize.org which contains all
information about the prize and nomination procedure.



For the organizers,

Mia Hubert and Stefan Van Aelst
