We are pleased to announce the named lectures for the 9th World Congress of Probability and Statistics. The main plenary speakers are: New membership structure for Bernoulli Society
The Bernoulli Society is introducing new membership structure which will replace the current one from year 2016. The new membership categories include: Policy changes in Biometrika subscription for Bernoulli Society members
From now on, members of the Bernoulli Society can get the corresponding discounted price directly from the publisher webpage at http://goo.gl/66jf9D. Therefore, no more orders or payments should be sent to the ISI/BS office. Call for bids for European Meeting of Statisticians in 2019
The European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society invites bids to host the European Meeting of Statisticians in 2019. Each bid should be set to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by January 31. http://goo.gl/21XohK Bernoulli Society General Assembly
The Bernoulli Society General Assembly will be held at the 60th World Statistics Congress - ISI2015, Rio Janeiro (see Events below) on Friday, July 30 at 12:30. You are warmly encouraged to attend! http://www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/organization/statutes#ArticleIV Evarist Giné-Masdéu (1944-2015)
Evarist Giné-Masdéu passed away on the 13th of March in Hartford, Connecticut. He has been a main contributor and co-creator of several branches of modern probability theory that have been profoundly influential, in particular in statistics and learning theory. Evarist was made a fellow of the IMS in 1984, elected member of the ISI in 1991, became a corresponding member of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans in 1996, and gave a Medallion lecture at the 2004 world congress of the Bernoulli society in Barcelona. A conference was held on the occasion of Evarist’s 70th birthday in June 2014 in Cambridge, UK, to honour his mathematical achievements. The great respect and admiration for his mathematics and his great personality were shared by the many friends and colleagues. That Evarist is gone leaves a great emptiness in the mathematical community. For those who knew him personally and worked with him, he will always remain a great friend with whom they spent endless hours talking mathematics at the board or in his warm and hospitable house.http://bulletin.imstat.org/2015/05/obituary-evarist-gine-masdeu-1944-2015/ Wolfgang Doeblin Prize for Outstanding Research in Probability
The Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability welcomes nominations for the third Wolfgang Doeblin Prize to be awarded at the 9th World Congress of Probability and Statistics, Toronto 2016. Each nomination should offer a brief case in support and should be sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by November 30. Founded in 2011, the prize is awarded bi-annually to a single individual for outstanding research in the field of probability theory, and who is at the beginning of their mathematical career. http://www.bernoulli-society.org/index.php/prizes?id=158 Next Editor-in-Chief of Stochastic Processes and their Applications
The Bernoulli Society has great pleasure in announcing that Professor Herold Dehling of Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum will serve as the next Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier journal Stochastic Processes and their Applications, in succession to the current Editor-in-Chief, Professor Takashi Kumagai. Professor Dehling informs us that the effective date of handover will be April 1, 2015, and that his term of service concludes end March 31, 2018. We are extremely grateful to both these distinguished scientists for their tireless and influential service, both past, present and future. IMU Itô Travel Awards
The International Mathematical Union (IMU) is supporting via the IMU Itô fund, the IMU Itô Travel Awards to invite young mathematicians to attend the Symposium “Stochastic Analysis”, which is taking place at RIMS, Kyoto University, from 7 to 11 September 2015, as part of a celebration of the centennial anniversary of the birth of Professor Kiyosi Itô. The payment will be given according to the regulations of Kyoto University. ISI-World Bank Grants CLAPEM XIII
The XIII Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM XIII) will be held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia from September 22 to 26, 2014, sponsored by the Bernoulli Society. CLAPEM XIII has been awarded ISI-World Bank funds to support the participation of residents of developing countries from the Caribbean and Latin America in the event.
