Wolfgang Doeblin Prize – Call for Nominations The Bernoulli Society 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. Nominations should be communicated to the Award Committee by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with subject heading: Doeblin Prize 2026. Each nomination should be sent by January 31, 2026. For more details, please visit the prize webpage here. Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics – Call for Nominations Nominations are now open for the second Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics, awarded by the King Baudouin Foundation, Belgium. The prize is named after its sponsor, the statistician Peter J. Rousseeuw. Nominations, including letters of recommendation, are to be submitted by February 28, 2026, on the website here which contains all information about the prize and nomination procedure. Membership Rate Adjustment for 2026 – Important Information for Bernoulli Society Members By decision of the Executive Committee, the Bernoulli Society's membership rates will change starting in 2026. Changes are reported in the following table.
"The Bernoulli Society is an association within the International Statistical Institute (ISI), which provides a range of services for our Society, including membership administration, financial services, and legal advice. In return, we pay a fixed annual amount to the ISI for each Bernoulli Society member who is not also an ISI member. After having remained constant for many years, this contribution has now increased because of growing staff costs in the Netherlands, where the ISI's Permanent Office is located. The Executive Committee felt that we have no choice but to follow suit and increase the membership fees for Bernoulli Society members who are not also ISI members. The increase will be pro-rated for membership categories with a reduced fee; the Bernoulli Society will absorb the difference." — Johan Segers, Treasurer Warning: Phishing Attempt In the last months a phishing attempt is underway, targeting members of our Society. The author poses as the Society's president or a Society's officer, and asks for urgent help and/or a wire transfer. Please ignore/delete any such emails. More generally, if you are ever doubtful about the authenticity of an email appearing to originate from a Bernoulli Society officer, please do not hesitate to double-check with the specific officer directly but using the email in their official webpage (not responding to the suspicious email).
