________________________________________ General News Bernoulli 50: Collection of Videos and Interviews As part of celebrating and recording our Society's history on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee, the Society curated a collection of several videos over the least year. They include a commemorative video, putting the evolution and role of the Society into historical perspective, and several interviews with Presidents and Scientific Secretaries over the years. You can now access these videos at: https://bernoullisociety.org/bernoulli50. We are grateful to S.-X. Chen, R.D. Gill, P. Jagers, W.S. Kendall, E. Mammen, T. Mikosch, V. Pérez-Abreu, N. Reid, J.L. Teugels, M.E. Vares, and E. Waymire for taking part in this laborious project. 2025 General Assembly and Transfer of the Bernoulli Book In a break with tradition, our next General Assembly –including the transfer of the Bernoulli book– 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 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. 12th Bernoulli-IMS World Congress to Take Place in Singapore As was announced at our recent GA, the next Bernoulli-IMS World Congress will take place in Singapore in 2028. Adrian Roellin (NUS, Singapore) will serve as Chair of the LOC. We are thankful to all colleagues at the National University of Singapore for putting forward such a compelling proposal. Please stay tuned for updates! New Appointments We are excited to announce two new appointments. Chiara Amorino (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and Yan Shou Tan (NUS, Singapore) have joined Andressa Cerqueira as members of the Bernoulli Young Researchers Committee, succeeding Imma Curato and Zhenhua Lin, respectively. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Imma Curato and Zhenhua Lin for their dedicated service over the past years! Willem van Zwet Medal – Recipient Herold Dehling (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) is the winner of the 2025 Willem van Zwet Medal, for the excellence of his services to the Society, his leadership in the editorial work and strengthening of the Society's publications, and his special effort and commitment in the organization of flagship events of the Bernoulli Society. More details about this award can be found here. Ethel Newbold Prize – Call for Nominations The Bernoulli Society’s Newbold Prize Committee invites nominations for the 2025 Ethel Newbold Prize. Established in 2014, this biennial prize honours the significant contributions of women to the field of statistics. The award, generously supported by Wiley, recognises excellence in statistics without regard to the gender of the recipient. The Ethel Newbold Prize will be awarded to an outstanding early or mid-career scientist whose work demonstrates excellence in mathematical statistics or in research that links developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics. The award consists of the prize amount of 2500 EUR together with an award certificate. The recipient will also be invited to present a talk at the next Bernoulli-IMS World Congress, a Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or the ISI World Statistics Congress. The prize will only be awarded if the set of nominations includes candidates of both genders. Nominations should include a letter outlining the nominee's achievements and contributions and a recent curriculum vitae of the nominee. In order to nominate someone, please send your nomination and any inquiries to Adrian Röllin at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for submissions is November 30th, 2024. The winner will be announced in early 2025. European Meeting of Statisticians – Call for Proposals The Bernoulli Society has launched a call for proposals for hosting the European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) in 2027 and 2029. The European Meetings of Statisticians are central events for statistics and probability in Europe and worldwide. The meetings should be the natural forum where all European statisticians and probabilists meet to exchange ideas and learn about the latest scientific developments. The EMS is typically held in June or July at a time of year that helps maximize attendance, although timing may vary depending on the local circumstances of the chosen venue. The venue should be a location accessible to a large proportion of Bernoulli membership and European researchers. Anyone interested in hosting either EMS 2027 or EMS 2029 should contact This email address is being protected from spambots.

Call for Special Issue of Extremes: Bridging Heavy Tails and Artificial Intelligence The journal Extremes invites contributions to a special issue on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extreme Value Theory (EVT) with the aim of bridging the gap between the two fields and addressing the growing challenges posed by extreme events. Topics of interest include interfaces between regularly-varying tails and machine learning, neural architectures for modeling heavy-tailed phenomena, explainability of machine learning models for extremes, generative models for extreme events, and online learning methods for extreme events. Manuscripts must be submitted by March 30th, 2025. For guidelines and submissions, visit the Springer Submission Portal. Warning: Phishing Attempt In the last months a phishing attempt is underway, targeting members of our Society. The author poses as the 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).

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. 24th European Young Statisticians Meeting 2025 July 21–25, 2025 The 24th European Young Statisticians Meeting will take place in July 2025, hosted by Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin, Italy. The European Young Statisticians Meetings 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. 65th ISI World Statistics Congress 2025 October 5–9, 2025 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. ________________________________________ Job Offers Assistant Professor in Statistic – Bocconi University The Department of Decision Sciences at Bocconi University in Milan invites applications of outstanding candidates for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Statistics, with a focus on research topics in all areas of Statistics, Machine Learning and Probability.
