catch the contagious enthusiasm of the author" .In 1965,

Kulldorff was appointed as the first professor of statistics at the newly

knowledge and education about survey statistics, which had been underdeveloped

during the Soviet era, he initiated a scientific exchange program between the Baltic

and Nordic countries. A few years later, this led to the creation of the

Baltic-Nordic-Ukrainian Network on Survey Statistics, with annual conferences,

workshops and/or summer schools. In 2006, he received an honorary
