Awards & Prizes

Every two years, during the Awards Ceremony of the World Statistics Congress, the International Statistical Institute and its seven affiliated associations proudly recognise outstanding contributions to the field of statistics through a range of prestigious prizes and awards.

These honours celebrate excellence in research, leadership, service, innovation and impact across the global statistical community. Each award has its own unique focus and set of criteria, reflecting the diverse ways in which statisticians advance knowledge and practice around the world.

Guidelines & Procedures:

Eligibility guidelines, nomination procedures and full award details are published in the year leading up to each World Statistics Congress. Award recipients are selected several months in advance, ensuring their achievements are highlighted on the international stage of the congress.

The ISI awards programme is coordinated by Vice-President Kerrie Mengersen, who oversees the process with the support of dedicated committees.
