<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We would greatly appreciate if you could send the call for nominations below for the newly established Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics to the members of the Brazilian Statistical Society and other Latin American statistical
associations or mailing lists.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We would like to spread the announcement as soon as possible because the deadline for nominations is March 31st.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">In attachment I also include a longer version of the call for nominations which can be included in the next newsletter of associations</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#212121">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Statistics is a cornerstone of science, health, industry, economics, government and more, and benefits society as a whole. Nevertheless, research in statistics does not yet receive the same level of recognition as in
related fields such as mathematics, physics, and computer science.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To help remedy this gap, a new biennial prize has been created by the King Baudouin Foundation (<a href="https://www.kbs-frb.be/en/about-us" target="_blank">https://www.kbs-frb.be/en/about-us</a>), a large public utility foundation in
Belgium. The prize is named after its sponsor, the statistician Peter J. Rousseeuw. The Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics will award pioneering work in statistical methodology.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">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. One of the goals
is to promote awareness of the important role and intellectual content of statistics and its profound impact on human endeavors.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The prize will be awarded in even years, starting in 2022. The award amount is one million US dollars per prize, to be split over awardees if there are several, which it is hoped will typically be the case. The first
award ceremony is scheduled for November 2022 at the University of Leuven, Belgium.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Nominations, including letters of recommendation, are to be submitted by March 31st 2022 on the website
<a href="https://www.rousseeuwprize.org" target="_blank">https://www.rousseeuwprize.org</a> which contains all information about the prize and nomination procedure.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We hope you will consider nominating a contribution and/or sharing this new initiative among your colleagues.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
