I am pleased to welcome Leonardo Rolla who has co-edited the present issue and will take over the role of Bernoulli EBrief editor starting from issue 18. I am sure Leonardo will do a great job for the next term ! * New editorships. Both IMS and Bernoulli Councils have confirmed that the following editorships are appointed for three-year terms from the beginning of 2015. In the case of Djalil Chafaï this is a further three-year term continuing the present term of service.
