This Prize for excellent young researchers, who are members of either the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) or the Bernoulli Society (BS), is awarded every 2 years, alternating between probability and mathematical statistics. Its name honours David G. Kendall, who was the first BS president and was awarded the Guy Medal in Silver (1955) and in Gold (1981) of the RSS.
The prize will be presented at a major BS conference (typically the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress or the ISI WSC) or an RSS conference (as specified by the applicant).
