Events sponsored and co-sponsored by Bernoulli Society
***Statistics Conference for Aad Van der Vaart’s 60th Birthday
June 17 - 21, 2019
Leiden, Netherlands
The conference is in honor of Aad van der Vaart's 60th birthday. It will bring together collaborators and leading researchers in theoretical and applied statistics. Topics include nonparametric Bayes, high-dimensional/nonparametric statistics and applications of statistics in the life sciences.
***11th International Conference on Extreme Value Analysis (EVA)
July 01 - 05, 2019
Zagreb, Croatia
This workshop covers all probabilistic and statistical aspects of extreme value analysis and its applications in climate and atmospheric science, industrial risks, geoscience, hydrology, finance, economics and insurance, biosciences, physics, telecommunications and stochastic networks.
***41st Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA)
July 08 - 12, 2019
Chicago, USA
SPA Conferences are organized under patronage of the Bernoulli Society and can justifiably be regarded as the most important international scientific meeting on the theory and applications of stochastic processes. They are held annually except for the years when the World Congress in Probability and Statistics takes place.
***European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) 2019
July 22 - 26, 2019
Palermo, Italy
The European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS), sponsored by the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main conference in statistics and probability in Europe. EMS is a conference where statisticians of all ages and from all regions meet to exchange ideas and talk about the newest developments on the broad field of statistics and probability theory. The conference is organized every other year.
***21st European Young Statisticians Meeting
July 29 - August 02, 2019
Belgrade, Serbia
The European Young Statisticians Meetings are held every two years under the auspices of the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society. The idea of the meeting is to provide young researchers (less than thirty years of age or two to eight years of research experience) an introduction to the international scene within the broad subject area - from pure probability theory to applied statistics.
***62nd ISI World Statistics Congress 2019
August 18 - 23, 2019
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The 62nd ISI WSC 2019 will bring together about 2,500 delegates from all over the world among statistical researchers, academia, industry practitioners, analysts and policymakers, to share insights on development in statistical science and to advance application of statistics for discovery, innovation and decision making. About 1,300 papers in various statistical disciplines and applications will be presented and discussed over a period of five days.
***XV Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM 2019)
December 2 - 6, 2019
Hotel Castellano, Merida-Yucatán, México
The Congreso Latinoamericano de Probabilidad y Estadística Matemática (CLAPEM) is the official meeting of the Sociedad Latino Americana de Probabilidad y Estadística Matemática (SLAPEM), the Latin American Chapter of the Bernoulli Society. It is the major event in Probability and Statistics in the region and it gathers an important number of researchers and students, predominantly from Latin America. The call for contributed sessions is now open, as well as nominations for the Francisco Arnada Prize.
***10th Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Probability and Statistics
August 17 - 21, 2020
Seoul, South Korea
The congress is the latest in a series organized jointly by the Bernoulli Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Held every four years, the Congress is a worldwide event covering all branches of statistics and probability. 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. It will be held at the Seoul National University.
Other Events
***Singapore-Abu Dhabi-Shanghai-India Probability Meeting (SASI)
May 27 - 29, 2019
Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore
The aim of the meeting is to bring together probability researchers from the Asia region, in particular from Singapore, NYU-Abu Dhabi, NYU-Shanghai, and India, to foster research collaborations and discussions amongst all of us on a regular basis.
***29th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL)
September 22 - 26, 2019
Hannover, Germany
The Committee on Probability and Statistics in the Physical Sciences (CPSPS) of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability is supporting the 29th European Safety and Reliability Conference as a collaborative partner. ESREL is organized by the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universität Hannover under the auspices of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA). The objective of ESREL 2019 is to provide an all-round inspiring environment and a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of knowledge and expertise on theories and methods in the field of risk, safety and reliability, and on their application to a wide range of industrial, civil and social sectors and problem areas. Papers presented will be published in open access conference proceedings by Research Publishing Services, Singapore.
