Honours & Awards

Every summer the Society holds a ceremony to award medals and prizes in recognition of outstanding contributions to the subject of statistics and statistical excellence in a number of areas.
Every learned society has a responsibility to promote the subject it represents. The Royal Statistical Society achieves this by recognising excellence through the award of medals and prizes to those who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the subject. An experienced and distinguished honours committee, chaired by the president and representing every field in which statistics is practised, considers nominations for the Society's medals and prizes.

Individual fellows, standing committees and section and local group committees may make nominations.

This year's ceremony will be take place on the evening of Wednesday 29 June in London.

The honours committee prefer to receive as broad a range of nominations as possible to ensure the awards are made to those who best meet the criteria.  The committee follows an annual procedure in making awards.

The nomination form must be used for all awards. You are asked to check the criteria for the award carefully.
