We hope to see many of you there! New Researcher Award in Probability Theory – Call for Applications The Bernoulli Society welcomes applications to the 2026 New Researcher Award. Eligible candidates are active researchers in Probability Theory who obtained the PhD degree on or after June 30, 2020, and who are regular members of the Bernoulli Society. An extension may be given to those having had disruptions after receiving the PhD, such as parenthood. Diversity among the awardees is one of the Society's goals, and therefore women and members of under- represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates should apply through the web form here and send the required documents to the e-mail address indicated in the form, by June 30, 2025. More details on this award can be found here. 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. European Meeting of Statisticians 2026 - Call for Session Proposals The EMS 2026 will be held on August 24-28, 2026, in Lugano, Switzerland. The Programme Committee invites proposals for scientific sessions. A session typically consists of three 30 minute talks on an active research theme. The list of sessions and their speakers will be decided by the Programme Committee appointed by the European Regional Committee. However, we welcome suggestions. You can send a proposal, consisting of a session title, a potential session organiser (maybe yourself), and short description of the area, to the Programme Chair, Aad van der Vaart at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before July 15. 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 June 30, 2025. New ISI Membership System – Important Information for Bernoulli Society Members We are pleased to inform you that ISI has launched a new membership system – Odoo. This new platform replaces the former ISI Webshop, which is no longer used. You can access the new system via the ISI website or directly at https://isi-portal.odoo.com. Detailed instructions on how to access and use the platform can be found here: How to Use the Membership System. If you have any problems, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Sad News It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor Thomas G. Kurtz. He passed away on April 19, 2025. The Bernoulli Society extends its sincere condolences to his family. 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).

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 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 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. Brazilian School of Probability 2025 August 4–8, 2025 The 28th Brazilian School of Probability will take place in August 2025, hosted by the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Held annually since 1997, the School has become a well-established international meeting and one of the leading events in Probability in South America. It has significantly contributed to the development of this research area in Brazil and the region, bringing together world-leading experts, young researchers, and students. The programme also includes opportunities for selected participants (beyond the invited speakers) to present short oral communications and posters. This year's edition is organized by UFMG and IMPA, with support from the Brazilian agencies CAPES, CNPq, INCTMat, and FAPEMIG. It will feature mini-courses by Tom Hutchcroft and Antonio Auffinger, along with eight plenary lectures. Check the conference website for further details. 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. Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 2026 March 2-6, 2026 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. ________________________________________ Recent Issues of Official and Sponsored Publications Official Publications of the Bernoulli Society Bernoulli https://projecteuclid.org/journals/bernoulli Stochastic Processes and their Applications https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/stochastic-processes-and-their-applications SpringerBriefs in Probability and Mathematical Statistics https://www.springer.com/series/14353 Co-Sponsored Publications Have a look at http://www.bernoullisociety.org/index.php/publications for the latest articles in Electronic Communications in Probability, Electronic Journal of Probability, Electronic Journal of Statistics, Probability Surveys, Statistics Surveys, and ALEA.
