Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award 2026 in Probability TheoryThe Bernoulli Society welcomes applications to the New Researcher Award 2025. Each awardee shall deliver a talk at a special invited session during the Conference on 45th Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) to be held in Ithaca, New York, USA, June 15-19, 2026, and will receive a funding up to 1000 EUR to offset travel and other expenses. Bernoulli News will publish their pictures and a paragraph about their work. Eligible candidates are active researchers in Probability Theory who obtained the PhD degree on or after June 30th, 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.
The David Cox Medal for Statistics winners announced
Three leading mid-career statisticians have been announced the winners of the David Cox Medal for Statistics, which has been awarded for the first time in 2025 to commemorate the work of the late world-leading statistician and former Royal Statistical Society president, Sir David Cox. The international prize, which we jointly award with the American Statistical Association, the International Biometric Society, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the International Statistical Institute, and the Royal Statistical Society, was established to recognise mid-career researchers in the fields of statistical theory, methodology and applications whose body of work is original, with conceptual depth and novelty, and which moves the field or a substantive application area forward. The winners are:
Professor Peter McCullagh, chair of the Prize Committee, said: ‘Sir David Cox’s work led to great advancements in the field, so it feels fitting to celebrate those carrying on his great work in moving the profession and our understanding of statistics forward. Eric, Nancy and Richard are to be wholeheartedly congratulated for their contributions that have reshaped our understanding across the discipline.’ For more about the award and the full citations, visit the David Cox Medal for Statistics webpages. Call for nominations for the 2025 David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers
Bernoulli Society and Royal Statistical Society 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. This biennial award aims to recognize excellent research in Mathematical Statistics and in Probability Theory. 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. The award consists of the prize amount of 2000€ together with an award certificate. The winner will deliver the Kendall Lecture during the Bernoulli Society conferences in 2026. The award should be used to cover the expenses of attendance at this conference. Nominees should be researchers with significant achievements and great potential in their research field who obtained their PhD after January 1st, 2017(up to a year’s credit will be given for each year taken out due to parental circumstances since receiving the PhD at the committee’s discretion). Nominees must be members of either the Bernoulli Society or the Royal Statistical Society. We particularly encourage nominations from under-represented groups. Nominations should be communicated to the Award Committee by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and be signed by two members of the BS or the RSS. They must include the name, affiliation, and brief curriculum vitae (including a list of publications) of the nominee, a statement of no more than 100 words summarising the case for nomination, a list of the best three articles, and a review of no more than two pages of the nominee's research contributions. Self-nominations are permitted but must still be signed by two other BS or RSS members. One person may nominate multiple candidates, but where that happens they must also provide their own personal ranking of their nominees to the Award Committee. The members of the 2025 Award Committee are: Jere Koskela (RSS, Chair) Sourav Chatterjee (BS) Xue-Mei Li (BS) Minmin Wang (RSS)
The nomination process is open from 1 April 2025 and closes on 30 June 2025. The award recipient will be announced in December 2025. Invitation to the Conference
On behalf of the Bernoulli Society and the other organizers, we are pleased to invite you to the 14th International Conference on Extreme Value Analysis (EVA 2025), which will take place in Chapel Hill, USA, from June 23-27, 2025. The conference will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest developments in extreme value theory and applications. More details can be found on the official conference website: conference website We look forward to your participation! Ethel Newbold Prize 2025 Awarded to Po-Ling Loh
We are pleased to announce that the Ethel Newbold Prize 2025 has been awarded to Po-Ling Loh from the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS), University of Cambridge. As part of the award, the recipient will be invited to give a talk at the upcoming ISI World Statistics Congress, which will take place in The Hague in October 2025. Announcement: Winner of the 2025 Itô Prize
We are delighted to announce that the winner of the 2025 Itô Prize is Minmin Wang from the University of Sussex, UK, for the paper "Stable trees as mixings of inhomogeneous continuum random trees" The Itô Prize, awarded by the journal Stochastic Processes and their Applications, honors a paper that has significantly advanced the theory or applications of stochastic processes. The prize, was named after Professor Kiyosi Itô, a pioneer in the field of probability theory, known for his groundbreaking work on stochastic calculus. The award will be presented at the upcoming SPA conference in Wrocław, Poland, from July 14–20, 2025, where Minmin Wang will deliver the Itô Lecture. We warmly congratulate Minmin Wang on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to her lecture at the conference! Exciting Announcement: EMS 2026 in Lugano!
We are thrilled to share that the European Regional Committee of Bernoulli has unanimously approved the proposal for EMS 2026! The event will take place from August 24–28, 2026, at the stunning USI in Lugano, Switzerland. The program will feature special lectures and contributions coordinated with an ERC-Bernoulli contact person. Additionally, promotion for EMS 2026 will be widely disseminated through Bernoulli Society channels and beyond. We look forward to an unforgettable meeting in Lugano that will bring together the mathematical and statistical community. Stay tuned for more updates! New Chief Editor for Bernoulli Journal
