Announcement
To promote outstanding young scientists, the Executive Board of the German Statistical Society announces the Wolfgang Wetzel Awards of the DStatG for the year 2024. The prize is named after the former Chairman of the DStatG, who during his tenure was particularly committed to strengthening mathematical-statistical methods in society. It is to be awarded during the Statistical Week. The prize is endowed with 1,000 euros. On February 18th, 2011, the Executive Board of the German Statistical Society decided to award the Wolfgang Wetzel Prize annually. As in 2011, the prize money in 2024 will be covered by Opens external link in new window Springer Spektrum | Springer-Verlag GmbH. We would like to thank Springer-Verlag for funding the Wolfgang Wetzel Prize.
The prize is aimed at young scientists up to a maximum of five years after their doctorate. The prize is awarded for an outstanding contribution to statistical methodology and its application. The contribution to be awarded usually consists of a publication already published or at least accepted for publication. It is also possible to award several publications written with different co-authors. In the case of co-authorship, the award may also be shared.
The publication (or publications) must have been published or accepted for publication in the year of the award or in the two preceding calendar years. The nomination is made by a member of the German Statistical Society. The proposed young scientist does not have to be a member of the DStatG. Self-proposals are not possible.
