The journal Stochastic Processes and Their Applications awards the 2013 Itô Prize to a paper published between 2011 and early 2013, recognizing a significant contribution to the advancement of the theory or applications of stochastic processes. The prize honors the memory and celebrates the legacy of Professor Kiyosi Itô and his vast and seminal contributions to probability theory. The prize consists of a monetary award of $ 5000 and an invited lecture presenting the paper.
The 2013 winning article was selected by the Editorial Board of the journal: Hirofumi Osada, Interacting Brownian motions in infinite dimensions with logarithmic interaction potentials II: Airy random point field, SPA, 123 (2013), 813-838. The Editorial Board of SPA congratulates Hirofumi Osada. The Itô Prize Ceremony and the Itô Lecture are part of the Scientific Program of the 36th Conference on Stochastic Processes and Their Applications (July 29 to August 2, 2013, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA).

Bernoulli Awards Ceremony and General Assembly 2012
During the World Congress in Istanbul, Turkey the awards ceremony and general assembly will take place on Tuesday, July 10, 2012 from 18:10 until 19:00. The agenda: 1. Presentation of Awards A wine and cheese reception will follow 19:00 – 19:30 Schramm lecture
We create a joint IMS-Bernoulli Society lecture in probability and stochastic processes titled the Schramm lecture. For details about the lecture see: http://imstat.org/Schramm/ The Schramm lecturer will be selected by the Schramm/Doob Lecture Selection Committee. The lecture will be featured at IMS or Bernoulli Society meetings and is named in honor of Oded Schramm.8th World Congress in Probability and Statistics
The eighth World Congress in Probability and Statistics will be in Istanbul from July 9 to 14, 2012. It is jointly organized by the Bernoulli Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Scheduled every four years, this meeting is a major worldwide event for statistics and probability, covering all its branches, including theoretical, methodological, applied and computational statistics and probability, and stochastic processes. It features the latest scientific developments in these fields. The program will cover a wide range of topics in statistics and probability, presenting recent developments and the state of the art in a variety of modern research topics, with in-depth sessions on applications of these disciplines to other sciences, industrial innovation and society. It will feature several special plenary lectures presented by leading specialists. In addition, there will be many invited sessions highlighting topics of current research interests, as well as a large number of contributed sessions and posters. For further details take a look at the conference flyer or the conference website. In particular, note that there are various possibilities for financial support, e.g. World bank, NSF and IMS. General Assembly Meeting
On Thursday 25 August 2011, at 13.30, the Bernoulli Society General Assembly Meeting will take place in the Dublin Convention Centre, Liffey Meeting Room 2, during the 58th ISI World Statistics Congress in Dublin, August, 21-26, 2011. Members and nonmembers of the Society are invited to participate. Voting is reserved to Bernoulli Society members. Wolfgang Doeblin Prize 2012 - Call for nominations
