The Bernoulli Society was saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Klaus Krickeberg on November 27, 2025, in Bielefeld.

Professor Krickeberg served as President of the Society from 1977 to 1979 and played a crucial role in its international development, helping to establish regional committees in Latin America and East Asia, and leading the organisation of the first Bernoulli Society World Congress in Tashkent in 1986.

Born in Berlin, Klaus Krickeberg held professorships in Heidelberg, Bielefeld, and Paris. He was widely recognized as a probabilist, statistician, and epidemiologist, and devoted several decades to public health work in Vietnam, highlighted in an article published in the IMS Bulletin in 2019.

Our Society mourns the loss of a distinguished member and leader who made lasting contributions to its growth and global reach. Our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

The Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability welcomes nominations for the 2026 Wolfgang Doeblin Prize.

The Wolfgang Doeblin Prize, which was founded in 2011 and is generously sponsored by Springer, is awarded biannually to a single individual who is in the beginning of his or her mathematical career, for outstanding research in the field of probability theory.  Nominees should normally be within 10 (calendar) years from getting their PhD to the prize year with suitable adjustments to be made for career breaks post-PhD (for example, maternity/paternity leave or military service).

The awardee will be invited to submit to the journal Probability Theory and Related Fields a paper for publication as the Wolfgang Doeblin Prize Article, and will also be invited to present the Doeblin Prize Lecture at a Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications.

To nominate a candidate, please provide the following documents:

1. A two-page Curriculum Vitae (CV) highlighting the nominee's academic background, professional experience, and honors/awards received.
2. A list of publications.
3. A document of at most five pages describing the nominee's work and placing it in context for importance. This document should outline the key mathematical contributions, their significance, and their impact on their respective field(s).
4. Between two and four letters of recommendation.

More information about the Wolfgang Doeblin Prize and past awardees can be found at https://www.bernoullisociety.org/prizes?id=158

Each nomination should be sent by February 28, 2026.
