Dear Paulo,



My best wishes for the New Year!



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.

We would like to spread the announcement as soon as possible because the
deadline for nominations is March 31st.

In attachment I also include a longer version of the call for nominations
which can be included in the next newsletter of associations in case this
would appear in time.

If that would be easier for you, you can also provide me the contact
information of association(s) so that I contact them directly.



Kind regards,

Stefan Van Aelst

Dear Colleague,



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.



To help remedy this gap, a new biennial prize has been created 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 Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics will
award 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. One of the
goals is to promote awareness of the important role and intellectual
content of statistics and its profound impact on human endeavors.



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.



Nominations, including letters of recommendation, are to be submitted by
March 31st 2022 on the website https://www.rousseeuwprize.org which
contains all information about the prize and nomination procedure.



We hope you will consider nominating a contribution and/or sharing this new
initiative among your colleagues.



For the organizers,

Mia Hubert and Stefan Van Aelst
