Nominations for the 2027 round will open in mid-February 2026.
The Hannan Medal is a career award that recognises outstanding research in any of the fields of statistical science, pure mathematics, applied mathematics and computational mathematics and is made in one of those three areas in turn at two-yearly intervals. It honours the contribution to time series analysis of the late Professor E J Hannan FAA FASSA, Professor of Statistics at the Research School of Social Sciences of the Australian National University.
The 2027 Hannan Medal is in pure mathematics.
The 2029 Hannan Medal is in applied mathematics and computational mathematics.
The 2031 Hannan Medal is in statistical science.
Work carried out through a candidate’s entire career is taken into consideration but special weight is given to recent research. The majority of the relevant research will have been carried out mainly in Australia.
This award is open to nominations for candidates from all genders. The Australian Academy of Science encourages nominations of female candidates and of candidates from a broad geographical distribution.
Career awards recognise achievement over a career of whatever length.
Candidates may be put forward for more than one award. If a proposed candidate is already the recipient of an Academy award, the second award must be for a distinct, additional, body of work undertaken since the first award, and/or work in a different field.
Please submit your nominations using the Nominate button found on the left of this webpage.
Please note: From February 2024, the Academy is using a new nomination platform that is external to the main Academy site. Nominators will be required to create an account on the platform. Even if you are familiar with the nomination process, please allow extra time to familiarise yourself with the new platform.
