Statistics Estonia announces yet again the competition for the young statistician’s grant named after Albert Pullerits. The aim of the grant is to promote statistics as an important field of science, to encourage students to apply and develop statistical methods and to improve Statistics Estonia’s cooperation with research organisations.

Starting 2016, Statistics Estonia has slightly modified the terms and conditions of the competition and the upper age limit was raised from 25 to 30.

All persons whose Master’s or Bachelor’s thesis on population, social life, economy or the environment has been completed and submitted in 2016 and implements or develops a statistical method to a significant extent are eligible to apply for the grant.

The submission deadline is 22 May 2016. The applicants should send their theses to Statistics Estonia by e-mail at statistika [at] stat.ee (statistika[at]stat[dot]ee), with the subject line “Albert Pulleritsu preemia”.

The winner will be announced on 22 June 2016 on Statistics Estonia’s website. The winner will be awarded an iPad.

More information about the competition can be found on Statistics Estonia’s website.

The competition for the Albert Pullerits grant takes place for the sixth time. The grant was awarded for the first time in 2011 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Estonian statistics. Albert Pullerits was the first director of the Estonian State Central Bureau of Statistics established in 1921, and the founder of the official statistical system in Estonia.
