Membership Rate Adjustment for 2026 – Important Information for Bernoulli Society Members By decision of the Executive Committee, the Bernoulli Society's membership rates will change starting in 2026. Changes are reported in the following table.
"The Bernoulli Society is an association within the International Statistical Institute (ISI), which provides a range of services for our Society, including membership administration, financial services, and legal advice. In return, we pay a fixed annual amount to the ISI for each Bernoulli Society member who is not also an ISI member. After having remained constant for many years, this contribution has now increased because of growing staff costs in the Netherlands, where the ISI's Permanent Office is located. The Executive Committee felt that we have no choice but to follow suit and increase the membership fees for Bernoulli Society members who are not also ISI members. The increase will be pro-rated for membership categories with a reduced fee; the Bernoulli Society will absorb the difference." — Johan Segers, Treasurer Warning: Phishing Attempt In the last months a phishing attempt is underway, targeting members of our Society.

This includes theoretical, methodological, applied and computational statistics and probability, as well as stochastic processes. The latest scientific developments in all of these fields are showcased. Take a look at the provisional program (information about the program is continuously updated): BIRS Workshop on Causal Inference and Prediction for Network Data August 18–23, 2024 The Banff International Research Station will host the Causal Inference and Prediction for Network Data workshop in Banff, Canada, in co-sponsorship with the Bernoulli Society, through its Committee on Statistical Network Science. The workshop will bring researchers from theory, computation, and different applications together, to help theoreticians and methodologists focus on real problems, and to alert application researchers to the newest developments in methods. Virtual access to the workshop will be available via Zoom. Spaces will be limited.

The General Assembly 2023 The Bernoulli Society General Assembly has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 18, 2023, from 17:50 till 18:30, during the 64th ISI World Statistics Congress in Ottawa.
New President-Elect and Council Members The Nomination Committee, chaired by the President-Elect Victor Panaretos, sent their report to the Scientific Secretary in September 2022 with the following list of candidates:
The Scientific Secretary Song Xi Chen submitted the report of the Nomination Committee to the ordinary members of the Council for additional suggestions. No further nominations were made. The Executive Committee and the Council approved the above nominations in October 2022. According to Section 9 of the Statutes, these candidates are declared elected without vote, pending final approval at the next General Assembly in July 2023.
Bernoulli Society and Royal Statistical Society David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers – call for nominations This joint BS and RSS Award is in honor of David G. Kendall, who was the first president of the Bernoulli Society, and was awarded the Guy Medal in Silver (1955) and in Gold (1981) of the RSS. The 2023 edition of the award is organized for young researchers in Mathematical Statistics. Nominees should be researchers with significant achievements and great potential in their research field, who are members of either the Bernoulli Society or the Royal Statistical Society, and who obtained their PhD after January 1st, 2015. The nomination process is open from April 1st and closes on June 30th. The award committee considers nominations and agrees a winner before September 30th. For complete call see: https://www.bernoullisociety.org/news
