A conference in honour of Professor Ester Samuel-Cahn, who recently retired from the Hebrew University, will be held near Jerusalem on December 18-20, 2006.
The general theme of the conference will be statistics and its applications. Ester's lifelong commitment and contributions to the profession and science of statistics, her endless fostering of young statisticians and her impressive record of teaching statistical theory are highly respected by her many colleagues and her countless former students. Her achievements have earned her worldwide recognition and many awards, including the Israel Prize. We all feel that Ester’s memory should be honoured with a conference.
There is still a possibility to add speakers. Those interested in contributing to the programme are kindly requested to contact: Prof. Isaac Meilijson, Chair, Programme Committee, at isaco@post.tau.ac.il, tel: +972-3-640-8826.

The Calcutta Statistical Association, jointly with the Department of Statistics, Calcutta University is organizing the Sixth International Triennial Calcutta Symposium on Probability and Statistics during December 29-31, 2006.
This Symposium follows in the footsteps of earlier five Symposia held in 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2003. As in the earlier Symposia, the objective is to provide a forum for researchers engaged in the field of Statistics and Probability to exchange ideas, facilitate discussions and share views amongst themselves.
As in the previous occasions, this time also there will again be a special session on Design of Experiments and Combinatorics in the memory of the Late Professor R.C. Bose. On the occasion of the 100th birthday of the late Professor S.N. Roy, there will be a special session on December 29, 2006.
Intending participants are requested to contact the convener of the
organizing committee for further details:
Dr. Asis Kumar Chattopadhyay, Department of Statistics, Calcutta University 35,
Ballygunge Circular Road, Kolkata 700 019,

The fourth meeting of the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the International Biometric Society (EMR-IBS) will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Eilat, Israel, on January 23-25, 2007. A pre-conference reception will be held on the evening before the conference. The lead organizers of the conference are Orly Manor, Hebrew University School of Public Health, and David Zucker, Hebrew University Department of Statistics. The conference will include three full days of sessions. The first of these three days will be a special one-day symposium in honour of Marvin Zelen on the occasion of his 80th birthday. This special symposium is under the joint auspices of EMR-IBS and the Harvard School of Public Health, and is being organized jointly by Marvin's former doctoral student Ori Davidov, now at Haifa University, and Stephen Lagakos of the Harvard Department of Biostatistics. A slate of distinguished invited speakers has been lined up for the conference, and we look forward to a very stimulating meeting. The conference website is http://www.congress.co.il/emr-ibs2007. The website provides further details about the conference and a mechanism for submitting abstracts. We welcome abstracts in all areas of biometrics.
This conference will be held in Bielefeld, Germany, 27-30 March 2007.
This is the first joint conference of German Statisticians organized by DAGStat-Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Statistik/German Sta-tistical Working Group.

As broadly publicised, the 56th Session of the ISI will be held in Lisbon in 2007 and satellite meetings are being organized on a few subjects.
We would like to invite people working in the field of Probability and Statistics in Science and Technology to join us at the Bernoulli Society satellite meeting of ISI 2007, to be held at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto, Portugal, after the Session in Lisbon. More information will be available in the near future.
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Porto has good facilities and hosts a few scientific conferences and technical meetings each year (http://www.fe.up.pt/si_uk/web_page.inicial).
The city of Porto is very easily to reach by plane from many cities in Europe; connections from some cities are at various times throughout the day. International flights into Porto are also very convenient and arrive at the international airport. Connections to Lisbon are good and frequent by train (3 hr. trip departures approximately every hour), by plane (30 min. several flights a day) or bus. Porto is also a tourist destination together with the River Douro Valley and the old part of town is a classified UNESCO World Heritage(http://www.portoturismo.pt/en/init/default1.asp).
