2022 Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics awarded

The King Baudouin Foundation has awarded the 2022 Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics to James Robins (Harvard University) and a team comprising Miguel Hernán (Harvard University), Thomas Richardson (University of Washington), Andrea Rotnitzky (Universidad Torcuato di Tella, Argentina) and Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen (University of Pennsylvania) for their pioneering work on Causal Inference with applications in Medicine and Public Health. The biennial prize is worth $1 million.

The prize will be awarded at a ceremony taking place at KU Leuven on 12 October 2022.
