The award was proposed in 2005 (Panhellenic
Statistics Conference in Rhodes) by Prof. N. Balakrishnan (an Honorary Member of GSI since 2007). Fifteen
Young Statisticians are the recipients of the award.
A Young Statistician is considered to be a master student, a PhD candidate or holder (with at most 3 years since
the PhD was awarded). The term young
refers to new researchers in Probability and Statistics and it does
not in any way refer to the candidate's age.
As of 2021 the award has been upgraded, with the support of Prof. Balakrishnan who is financing the award
which will be accompanied annually, by the amount of 200 euros and by waiving the annual membership fee for a
2-year period.
All those interested are kindly requested:
(a) to express their intention to participate in the special session for the award and
(b) arrange to submit the full paper
both by April 10, 2023, secretariat@esi-stat.gr.
