Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge, UK) has succeeded Sebastian Engelke as the Membership Secretary, Claudia Kirch (Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany) has taken on the role of Treasurer, succeeding Johan Segers, and Rongfeng Sun (NUS, Singapore) has become the new Chair of the Conferences on Stochastic Processes, taking over from Panki Kim. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all outgoing officers for their invaluable contributions and wish the newly appointed members every success in their roles! Nominations for the Latin American Regional Committee/SLAPEM According to the statutes of the Latin American Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society and the Latin American Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (SLAPEM), four of the eight members of the committee will step down in April 2026. The current committee members nominate the following candidates for renewal:
As the number of candidates is equal to the number of vacant places, all candidates shall be considered elected. The new members’ term shall begin on April 1, 2026, for a period of four years. Special Issue in Memory of Ole E. Barndorff-Nielsen The Bernoulli Society is pleased to inform its members that the first issue of Bernoulli in 2026 features a collection of survey papers dedicated to the scientific legacy of Ole Eiler Barndorff-Nielsen, highlighting his exceptional contributions to statistics, probability, and the development of our society. The surveys cover several of his major research areas and commemorate his profound influence on our field. We hope you will enjoy and benefit from this insightful and inspiring issue. David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers – Recipients The winner of the 2025 David G. Kendall Award for Young Researchers is Wei Qian (University of Hong Kong, China).

Sad News The Bernoulli Society was saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Volker Mammitzsch on September 23, 2025, and of Professor Klaus Krickeberg on November 27, 2025. Professor Mammitzsch served as Membership Secretary of the Society from 1994 to 2007 and contributed significantly to the organisation of major scientific meetings, including the 16th European Meeting of Statisticians held in Marburg in 1984. Professor Krickeberg served as President of the Society from 1977 to 1979 and played a crucial role in its international development, contributing to the establishment of regional committees in Latin America and East Asia and leading the organisation of the first Bernoulli Society World Congress in Tashkent in 1986. Our Society mourns the loss of two distinguished members who made lasting contributions to its growth and international reach. Our sincere condolences go to their families, friends, and colleagues. 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).

The congress, promoted by the Latin American Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics (SLAPEM) and the Latin American Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main event in these fields in the region. It occurs every two/three years and attracts researchers and students from the most important Latin American centers. It has already been organized in Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Check the conference website for further details. The SLAPEM General Assembly will take place on March 5, 2026, during the CLAPEM in Montevideo. Stochastic Processes and their Applications 2026 June 14–20, 2026 The 45th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications will be held in June 2026 on the beautiful campus of Cornell University, USA. 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:
