***41st Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications July 08 - 12, 2019 Chicago, USA http://sites.math.northwestern.edu/SPA2019/ SPA Conferences are organized under patronage of the Bernoulli Society and can justifiably be regarded as the most important international scientific meeting on the theory and applications of stochastic processes. They are held annually except for the years when the World Congress in Probability and Statistics takes place.
***European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) 2019 July 22 - 26, 2019 Palermo, Italy http://www.ems2019.palermo.it/ The European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS), sponsored by the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main conference in statistics and probability in Europe. EMS is a conference where statisticians of all ages and from all regions meet to exchange ideas and talk about the newest developments on the broad field of statistics and probability theory. The conference is organized every other year.
***21st European Young Statisticians Meeting July 29 - August 02, 2019 Belgrade, Serbia http://www.eysm2019.matf.bg.ac.rs/ The European Young Statisticians Meetings are held every two years under the auspices of the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society. The idea of the meeting is to provide young researchers (less than thirty years of age or two to eight years of research experience) an introduction to the international scene within the broad subject area - from pure probability theory to applied statistics. Every participant is expected to submit an abstract and a short paper for conference proceedings and to give a twenty minutes talk introducing his/her research field to a wide audience.
***62nd ISI World Statistics Congress 2019 August 18 - 23, 2019 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The Bernoulli Society (BS) invites the submission of proposals for BS-sponsored Invited Paper Sessions (IPS) at the 2019 ISI World Statistics Congress, to be held from 18 to 23 August 2019 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Proposals can be submitted as of 1 January 2018 using the electronic submission system on the WSC website.
***XV Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (CLAPEM 2019) December 2 - 6, 2019 Hotel Castellano, Merida-Yucatán, México http://clapem2019.eventos.cimat.mx/home The Congreso Latinoamericano de Probabilidad y Estadística Matemática (CLAPEM) is the official meeting of the Sociedad Latino Americana de Probabilidad y Estadística Matemática (SLAPEM), the Latin American Chapter of the Bernoulli Society. It is the major event in Probability and Statistics in the region and it gathers an important number of researchers and students, predominantly from Latin America.
Other Events
***Universality in Random Structures: Interfaces, Matrices, Sandpiles 2019 January 14 - February 8, 2019 Madhava Lecture Hall, ICTS, Bangalore, India https://www.icts.res.in/program/urs2019 The primary focus of this program will be on the theme of universality in three different classes of discrete random structures. This program aims to bring together leading researchers in these areas from all over the world for a discussion on recent progress and remaining challenges. The plan is to have a mini-course each week, aimed at the graduate students and young researchers, together with a number of talks and open problem sessions, and enough free slots for discussions and collaboration between the participants.
***Singapore-Abu Dhabi-Shanghai-India Probability Meeting (SASI) May 27 - 29, 2019 Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore https://ims.nus.edu.sg/events/2019/prob/ The aim of the meeting is to bring together probability researchers from the Asia region, in particular from Singapore, NYU-Abu Dhabi, NYU-Shanghai, and India, to foster research collaborations and discussions amongst all of us on a regular basis. The first meeting was held in May 2017 at the Indian Statistical Institute in Bangalore, India (http://www.isibang.ac.in/~athreya/pmtnl/).
***29th European Safety and Reliability Conference (ESREL) September 22 - 26, 2019 Hannover, Germany The Committee on Probability and Statistics in the Physical Sciences (CPSPS) of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability is supporting the 29th European Safety and Reliability Conference as a collaborative partner. ESREL is organized by the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universität Hannover under the auspices of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA). The objective of ESREL 2019 is to provide an all-round inspiring environment and a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of knowledge and expertise on theories and methods in the field of risk, safety and reliability, and on their application to a wide range of industrial, civil and social sectors and problem areas. Papers presented will be published in open access conference proceedings by Research Publishing Services, Singapore. The deadline for abstract submission is November 20.
