New website address The website of the Bernoulli Society moved to web address https://bernoullisociety.org/.
New office appointments At the General Assembly of the Bernoulli Society, held online on July 6th, 2022 the following new office appointments, proposed by EC or Council, have been approved:
The Secretariat of the Bernoulli Society A secretariat of the Bernoulli Society in Toruń has been created. One of its aims is to construct an electronic archive of the Bernoulli Society. Members of the Bernoulli Society are kindly invited to submit interesting materials related to the history of the Bernoulli Society either by surface mail:
The Ethel Newbold Prize - call for nominations The Ethel Newbold Prize is to be awarded biannually to an outstanding statistical scientist in early or mid-career for a body of work that represents excellence in research in mathematical statistics, and/or excellence in research that links developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics. In any year in which the award is due, the prize will not be awarded unless the set of all nominations includes candidates from both genders. The award consists of the prize amount of 2500€ together with an award certificate. The awardee will be invited to present a talk at the following Bernoulli World Congress, Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or ISI World Statistics Congress. The nomination should include a letter outlining the case in support of the nominee, along with a curriculum vitae. Nominations as well as any inquiries about the award should be sent to Gesine Reinert at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for accepting nominations is November 30th, 2022. The prize winner will be selected in Spring 2023. More information is available at https://bernoullisociety.org/index.php/prizes?id=207.
2024 Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Probability - call for nominations The Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Probability is to recognize authors of an influential survey publication in the area of probability. 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 presentation of prize winner will be at the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Bochum in August 2024. The nominations should be sent to Markus Heydenreich at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for accepting nominations is February 28th, 2023. More information is available at https://www.bernoullisociety.org/priz es?id=156.
Winners of the 2022 Rousseeuw Prize The King Baudouin Foundation has announced the winners of the first Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics. This biennial prize, worth 1 million USD, aims to reward excellence in statistical research which has a significant impact. The selected topic is Causal Inference in Medicine and Public Health. Half the prize amount will go to James Robins of Harvard University and half will be shared by Miguel Hernán (Harvard University), Thomas Richardson (University of Washington), Andrea Rotnitzky (Universidad Torcuato di Tella, Argentina) and Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen (University of Pennsylvania). The international jury appointed by the King Baudouin Foundation selected the winners from the nominations received after a widely advertised call earlier this year. The jury consisted of its chair, David Hand (Imperial College), Lutgarde Buydens (Radboud University Nijmegen), Probal Chaudhuri (Indian Statistical Institute), Dianne Cook (Monash University), Roger Koenker (University of Illinois), Yanyuan Ma (Penn State), David Scott (Rice University), David Steinberg (Tel Aviv University), Jane-Ling Wang (UC Davis), and James Zidek (University of British Columbia). The prize will be awarded in a ceremony taking place at KU Leuven, Belgium on Wednesday October 12th, 2022.
In memoriam: Ole Berndorff-Nielsen It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Ole Berndorff-Nielsen, former president (1993-1995) and one of the most eminent members of The Bernoulli Society. He passed away on June 26, 2022, at the age of 87 (https://math.au.dk/aktuelt/nyheder/nyhed/artikel/mindeord-ole-eiler-barndorff-nielsen-1935-2022).
________________________________________ Highlighted events 34th European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) July, 2023 The next EMS will be held in Warsaw in July 2023. More details will be available soon. ________________________________________ Events sponsored and co-sponsored by Bernoulli Society
One World YoungStatS Webinar September 21, 2022 The next One World webinar, organized by YoungStatS, will be dedicated to Regularization by Noise for Stochastic Differential and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations. Selected young researchers active in this area will present their recent contributions. 11th International Conference on the Teaching of Statistics (ICOTS11) Se[ptember 11 - 16, 2022 ICOTS11-“Bridging the Gap: Empowering and Educating Today’s Learners in Statistics” is organized by The International Association for Statistical Education (IASE). The list of topics can be seen at https://icots.info/11/?topics
XVI Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM) July 10 – 14, 2023 CLAPEM, promoted by the Latin American Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (SLAPEM) and the Latin American Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main event in these fields in the region. It takes place every two/three years and attracts researchers and students from the most important Latin American centers. A traditional program in a CLAPEM includes a series of short courses to introduce graduate students and young colleagues to major areas of current research and a series of invited plenary talks, invited sessions, and general poster and oral communication sessions.
64th World Statistics Congress 2023 July 16-20, 2023 The congress series is organized by the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and the Bernoulli Society is participating in the series as an association of ISI. It brings together statisticians and data scientists from academia, health sector and business, junior and senior professionals, in an inviting environment.
43rd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) July 24-28, 2023 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. The next conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.
6th IMS Asia Pacific Rim Meeting (to be announced) 2024 The Institute of Mathematical Statistics APRM will provide an excellent forum for scientific communications and collaborations for the researchers in Asia and the Pacific Rim, and promote communications and collaborations between the researchers in this area and those from other parts of the world. The program covers a wide range of topics in statistics and probability, presenting recent developments and the state of the art in a variety of modern research topics and in applications Invited session proposals are now being considered.
44th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) (to be announced) 2025 The 44th edition of SPA conferences will be organized in 2025 in Wrocław (Poland). More information will be available soon.
The One World Probability Seminar (Virtual) The One World Probability project is an online platform for research seminars, workshops and schools in probability theory. Started during the Covid-19 epidemic in 2020, the project intends to bring together researchers from all over the world in a virtual and inclusive environment. One World Extremes Seminar (Virtual) The One World Extremes Seminar is an initiative to keep researchers with an interest in Extreme Value Theory (EVT) virtually connected in novel ways. It features both theoretical advances and important applications of EVT. Asia-Pacific Seminars in Probability and Statistics (Virtual) The seminar was created as a permanent forum for good research in the field, with the aim to counterbalance the restrictions imposed by pandemic and to still promote scientific exchange and cooperation. It will run using Zoom.
