Inaugural Cox Medallists Announced
We are thrilled to announce the three inaugural Cox Medallists: Prof. Richard Samworth (University of Cambridge, UK), Prof. Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen (University of Pennsylvania, USA), and Professor Nancy Zhang (University of Pennsylvania, USA). Read the news story here and the full citations here. The Bernoulli Society congratulates the three winners!
David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers – Call for Nominations
The Award Committee invites nominations for the Bernoulli Society-Royal Statistical Society David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers. The 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 2025 edition of the award is organized for young researchers in Probability Theory. 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 1, 2017. We particularly encourage nominations from under-represented groups. The nomination process is open from 1 April 2025 and closes on 30 June 2025. The complete call can be found here.
2025 General Assembly and Transfer of the Bernoulli Book
Our next General Assembly – including the transfer of the Bernoulli book and the introduction of the new Executive Committee and Council – will take place at the SPA 2025 meeting in Wroclaw, Poland (July 14–18, 2025) rather than the ISI World Statistics Congress (October 5–9, 2025). This break with tradition is due to the ISI WSC being exceptionally moved to autumn instead of its usual timing in the summer, thus not being well-aligned with our own administrative calendar.
European Meeting of Statisticians - Call for Host Proposals
With EMS 2026 in Lugano approaching, we invite those interested in hosting EMS 2027 or EMS 2029 to submit proposals. For detailed guidance on requirements, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Finalized proposals are due by April 30, 2025.
Ethel Newbold Prize – Recipient
We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Ethel Newbold Prize has been awarded to Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge, UK). As part of the award, the recipient will be invited to give a talk at the upcoming ISI World Statistics Congress, which will take place in The Hague in October 2025. More details about this award can be found here.
Warning: Phishing Attempt
In the last months a phishing attempt is underway, targeting members of our Society. The author poses as the Society's president, and asks for urgent help and/or a wire transfer. Please ignore/delete any such emails. More generally, if you are ever doubtful about the authenticity of an email appearing to originate from a Bernoulli Society officer, please do not hesitate to double-check with the specific officer directly but using the email in their official webpage (not responding to the suspicious email).

Extreme Value Analysis 2025
June 23–27, 2025
Chapel Hill, USA
https://eva2025.unc.edu
The 14th International Conference on Extreme Value Analysis will be hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, from June 23 to 27, 2025. Topics include all aspects of extreme value analysis, probabilistic and statistical models and their applications. Activities include plenary, invited and contributed paper sessions, a poster competition, a student paper competition, and a data analysis challenge. There will also be a short course (June 22), with presentations by Anne Sabourin (Université Paris Cité, France) and Anthony Davison (EPFL, Switzerland). For full details please consult the conference website.
Stochastic Processes and their Applications 2025
July 14–18, 2025
Wrocław, Poland
https://spa.pwr.edu.pl
The 44th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications will be held in July 2025 in Wrocław, Poland. The Bernoulli Society's Council Meeting, General Assembly and installation of the new Executive and Council will take place during this event. SPA conferences are organised 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. Refer to the conference website for any updates, as well as for further details on the conference.
European Young Statisticians Meeting 2025
July 21–25, 2025
Turin, Italy
https://sites.google.com/view/eysmtorino2025
The 24th European Young Statisticians Meeting will take place in July 2025, hosted by Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin, Italy. The EYSMs are held every two years under the auspices of the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society. The aim is to provide a scientific forum for the next generation of European researchers in probability theory and statistics. Participation is by invitation only. Check the conference website for further details.
ISI World Statistics Congress 2025
October 5–9, 2025
The Hague, Netherlands
https://www.isi-next.org/conferences/isi-wsc2025
The 65th ISI World Statistics Congress will be held in October 2025 in The Hague, Netherlands. It takes place every two years, since 1887, and it represents the leading congress on statistics and data science worldwide. The programme will span the full field of statistics and data science including academia, business, industry, government and official statistics in line with the breadth of the ISI and the Associations affiliated with the ISI. Please note that the conference has been postponed from July to October. Refer to the conference website for any updates, as well as for further details on the conference.
Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 2026
March 2-6, 2026
Montevideo, Uruguay
https://clapem17.cmat.edu.uy
The 17th Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics will be held in March 2026, in Montevideo, Uruguay. The congress, promoted by the Latin American Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics and the Latin American Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main event in these fields in the region. It occurs every two/three years and attracts researchers and students from the most important Latin American centers. It has already been organized in Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Check the conference website for further details.
