Dear 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. We encourage all Bernoulli Society members to log in and familiarise themselves with the new system. You can access the new system:
If you have any problems, please contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you haven’t paid your 2025 membership fee yet, you can conveniently do so within the new system. Detailed instructions on how to access and use the platform can be found here: Please note that the system is still fine-tuning, so you may notice some ongoing updates. We appreciate your patience and invite you to report any issues or suggestions. We encourage you to log in, explore the new platform, and ensure your information is current! Bernoulli Society The 28th Brazilian School of Probability
We would like to invite you to the next edition of the event we are co-sponsoring. The 28th Brazilian School of Probability will take place at Belo Horizonte, Brazil in August 4-8, 2025. It will feature mini-courses by Tom Hutchcroft and Antonio Auffinger and also 8 plenary lectures. For more information, visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/ebp2025.
Held annually since 1997, the school is by now a quite traditional international meeting and one of the leading events in Probability in South America. It has considerably contributed to the strengthening of this research area in Brazil and in the region, bringing together world-leading experts as well as young researchers and students. It also provides opportunities for selected participants (other than the invited speakers) to present short oral communications and posters.
This year’s edition is organized by UFMG and IMPA and is funded by the Brazilian agencies CAPES, CNPq, INCTMat, and FAPEMIG.
Call for Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award 2026
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.
