We are delighted to announce that the winners of the 2027 Itô Prize are Eric A. Carlen, Gustavo Posta, and Imre Péter Tóth, for their paper: “Spectral gap for the stochastic exchange model”, Stochastic Processes and their Applications, Volume 190 (2025), Article 104769.

Professor Carlen will present the Ito prize lecture on behalf of his co-authors at the SPA meeting in Melbourne https://www.spa2027.org. This prize is generously supported by Elsevier.


The fifth annual International Day of Women in Statistics and Data Science (IDWSDS) will take place virtually on October 6, 2026. This free, 24-hour global conference celebrates the contributions of women to statistics and data science and connects statisticians, data scientists, researchers, educators, professionals, and students from around the world.

This year’s theme is “Creating Global Connections.”

Free registration is now open! We encourage you to register by September 28, 2026, to attend the conference free of charge. A late registration fee will apply after this date.

We also encourage Bernoulli Society members to help spread the word about IDWSDS 2026 by sharing the event with colleagues, students, and other members of the statistics and data science community, or by including the announcement in newsletters, bulletins, websites, or event calendars.

We hope you will join this global celebration of women’s contributions to statistics and data science!


The Bernoulli Society is pleased to sponsor the RobStat Symposium 2027: Reliable and Trustworthy Inference in Modern Data Environments, which will take place 5–7 February 2027 at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India.

The symposium will bring together researchers working in robust statistics and related areas to discuss recent advances in reliable statistical inference for modern data environments.

Nominations are now open for the 2027 Ethel Newbold Prize.

The Bernoulli Society’s Newbold Prize Committee invites nominations for the 2027 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 2,500€ 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 Richard Nickl This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2026. The winner will be announced in early 2027.
