Eligible candidates are active researchers in Mathematical Statistics who obtained the PhD degree on or after June 30, 2021, and who are regular members of the Bernoulli Society. An extension may be given to those having had disruptions after receiving the PhD, such as parenthood. Diversity among the awardees is one of the Society's goals, and therefore women and members of under-represented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Candidates should apply through the web form here and send the required documents to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., by June 30, 2026. More details on this award can be found here. Willem van Zwet Medal – Call for Nominations A call for nominations for the Willem van Zwet Medal is now open. This biennial Bernoulli Society Medal aims to recognise special service to the Bernoulli Society. The Medal is in honour of Willem van Zwet, who served the Bernoulli Society and its aims in many special ways. The previous awardees were Maria Eulalia Vares (2021), Thomas Mikosch (2023) and Herold Dehling (2025). Nominations should be sent by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and should be signed by two members of the Bernoulli Society. The deadline for submissions of nominations is September 30, 2026. For more details, both of eligibility for the award and of what is needed for the nomination, please visit the webpage here. Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Statistics – Call for Nominations Nominations for the 2026 Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Statistics are open. The prize recognises the author(s) of an influential survey publication in statistics that addresses an area of active or emerging importance and has demonstrated significant impact. The article must appear in a peer-reviewed journal or book, in either print or electronic format. Nomination materials should be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.

SPA conferences are organised 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. As part of the scientific highlights, there will be the following special lectures:
Refer to the conference website for any updates, as well as for further details on the conference. European Young Statisticians Meeting 2026 July 7–10, 2026 The 25th European Young Statisticians Meeting will take place in July 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The EYSMs are held every two years under the auspices of the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society. The aim is to provide a scientific forum for the next generation of European researchers in probability theory and statistics. Participation is by invitation only. Joint Conference on Statistics and Data Science 2026 July 11–13, 2026 The Bernoulli Society, as a co-sponsor of the conference, warmly encourages everyone to participate in the 4th Joint Conference on Statistics and Data Science, which will take place in July 2026 in Guiyang, China. Jointly organized by the Chinese Association for Applied Statistics, Probability and Statistics Society of China, Association for Industrial Statistics Teaching, Business Statistics Society of China, China Medical Association's Biostatistics Division and IMS-China, since its inaugural meeting in 2023, JCSDS has become one of the world's largest gatherings in statistics and data science. JCSDS 2026 will be staged together with the IMS-China biannual meeting with special sessions dedicated to former IMS President Late Professor Peter Hall to mark his 10-year passing from us. All details on submission, registration, deadlines, accommodation, and updates are available on the official conference website. Brazilian School of Probability 2026 August 3–7, 2026 The XXIX Brazilian School of Probability (EBP) will be held in August at Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas - CBPF, Urca, Rio de Janeiro. It is a long-standing international event that has been held annually since its inception in 1997. It serves as a prominent forum for the exchange of ideas among researchers and students from Brazil and abroad, fostering scholarly interaction and the dissemination of knowledge within the probability community. This edition of the EBP will honor Professor Maria Eulália Vares and celebrate her career spanning more than 40 years, during which she has stood out as one of the leaders of our community and has made invaluable and essential contributions to the development of Probability in Brazil and to its international recognition. For more information, please check the event webpage. European Meeting of Statisticians 2026 August 24–28, 2026 The 35th European Meeting of Statisticians will take place in August 2026, hosted by Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland. The EMS, sponsored by the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main conference in statistics and probability in Europe. It serves as a central forum where statisticians from all regions come together to share ideas and discuss the latest advances across the wide spectrum of statistics and probability theory. Check the conference website for further details. The Bernoulli Society General Assembly will take place during the EMS in Lugano. Reliable Engineering Computing 2026 September 2–5, 2026 The 11th International Workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing will take place in July 2026, hosted by the International Meeting Center (IBZ) in Dortmund, Germany. Organized under the auspices of the Committee on Probability and Statistics in the Physical Science of the Bernoulli Society, this vibrant forum welcomes engineers and scientists from academia and industry to share insights, showcase advancements, and engage in meaningful discussions on emerging methods and challenges in the field. Check the website for further details. ISI World Statistics Congress 2027 July 11–15, 2027 The 66th ISI World Statistics Congress will be held in July 2027 in Lusaka, Zambia. It takes place every two years, since 1887, and it represents the leading congress on statistics and data science worldwide. The programme will span the full field of statistics and data science including academia, business, industry, government and official statistics in line with the breadth of the ISI and the Associations affiliated with the ISI. The submission system is open for invited paper session proposals!
