The competition for the Albert Pullerits grant takes place for the seventh 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.
