DescriptionProbability and statistics are undergoing a substantial increase in both the breadth of scope and the mathematical technicality of many areas of specialization. There is a need for expertly written survey articles that will communicate an historic perspective on the successes, failures and general health of the area, as well as provide young researchers with a point of entry to the frontiers of the field. The Bernoulli Society plays a role in recognizing and communicating the importance of such scholarly efforts through a special award. The Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article is to recognize authors of an influential survey publication in the areas of probability and statistics, respectively. The paper should be timely in addressing areas of active or emerging importance, but have been in circulation long enough for there to be evidence of its impact. The award consists of the prize amount of 1000€ together with an award certificate. The amount may be adjusted in future years by joint request of committee chairs and approval of Bernoulli Council. The combined awards are biennial. A paper in probability will be presented in a formal ceremony at the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress (BS-IMS-WC) in each year divisible by four. A prize for a paper in statistics will be awarded in each even year not divisible by four, and formally presented and formally presented at the ISI World Statistics Congress (ISI-WSC) in the following year. Call for nominations in probabilityThe nominations are closed. The 2026 Prize Committee: Alexander Aue (Chair), UC Davis Call for nominations in statisticsNominations for the 2026 Prize are open now! The prize will be presented at the 2027 ISI World Statistics Congress. Nominations should include the full name and email address of both the nominee(s) and the nominator, as well as a PDF file of the published survey article in statistics. The nomination material should be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Nominations open: August 15, 2025 Eligible ArticlesThe article should appear in a peer reviewed journal or book, but may be in either print or electronic format. The chief editor where the paper appears will receive an official congratulatory letter of notification from the president of the Bernoulli Society.

The Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability announces that the deadline for nominations for the 2026 Wolfgang Doeblin Prize has been extended. Nominations will now be accepted until February 28, 2026.
The Bernoulli Society (BS) invites its members and the wider community to participate in the following conferences in 2026:
The Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability was created in years 1973-75 and since 1975 it has been a member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) family. The Bernoulli Society is an international organization whose objectives are the advancement of the sciences of probability (including stochastic processes) and mathematical statistics and of their applications to all those aspects of human endeavour, which are directed towards the increase of natural knowledge and the welfare of mankind. The activities of the Bernoulli Society include:
See Presentation of the Bernoulli Society for a review of these activities. The Bernoulli Society offers reduced membership for PhD students, new members and members from low and middle income countries and regions. Joint BS-IMS and ISI-BS-IMS memberships are also possible at a reduced rate. For the latest news see our News & Calls, Bernoulli News, eBriefs. Since 2022 a secretariat of the Bernoulli Society has been functioning at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland.
