The Bernoulli Society General Assembly approved new office appointment Adam Jakubowski (Nicolaus Copernicus Univ., Torun, Poland) became the new President of the Bernoulli Society and Victor Panaretos (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland) became the President-Elect. We thank previous President Claudia Klüppelberg for her dedicated work and steering of the society in the past years.
Call for nominations of President-Elect and Council Members At the General Assembly of the Bernoulli Society, held online on July 8th, 2021, a Nominating Committee was established. It consists of Adam Jakubowski (President of the BS), Victor Panaretos (President-Elect, Chair), Herold Dehling, Leonardo Rolla, Christina Goldschmidt, Marcos Valdebenito, Gesine Reinert, Gerda Claeskens, Zengjing Chen, Juan Carlos Pardo Millán and Song Xi Chen (Scientific Secretary). The task of the committee is to make nominations for the office of President-Elect (2023-2025) and for ordinary Council members for the term 2023-2027. All members of the Bernoulli Society are invited to submit names of possible candidates (with basic information and the web address) to Victor Panaretos (This email address is being protected from spambots.

Marloes Maathuis (ETH, Zurich) has been awarded the 2021 Ethel Newbold Prize The Ethel Newbold Prize for excellence in statistics is awarded every 2 years. The name of the prize recognizes the historically important role of women in statistics. The prize itself is for excellence in statistics without reference to the gender of the recipient. The Ethel Newbold Prize is generously supported by Wiley.

22nd European Young Statisticians Meeting (EYSM 2021) September 6 - 10, 2021 The European Young Statisticians Meetings is a series of conferences that is organized by and for young European statisticians, under the auspices of the Bernoulli Society. The meeting will take place online. Participation is by invitation only.
International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS) September 20 - 24, 2021 The conference has been an annual international conference since 2001. The aim of the conferences is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in robust statistics, data analysis and related areas. This includes theoretical and applied statisticians as well as data analysts from other fields, and leading experts as well as junior researchers and graduate students.
Frontier Probability Days (FPD’20) December 3-5, 2021 The Frontier Probability Days is a regional workshop, now postponed to 2021 at the University of Nevada. Its purpose is to bring together mathematicians, both regionally and globally, who have an interest in probability and its applications. FPD aims to complement other regional conferences in Probability that are held annually elsewhere in the United States.
6th IMS Asia Pacific Rim Meeting (to be announced) 2023 The Institute of Mathematical Statistics APRM will provide an excellent forum for scientific communications and collaborations for the researchers in Asia and the Pacific Rim, and promote communications and collaborations between the researchers in this area and those from other parts of the world. The program covers a wide range of topics in statistics and probability, presenting recent developments and the state of the art in a variety of modern research topics and in applications Invited session proposals are now being considered.
Rényi 100 Conference June 20 - 23, 2022 Alfréd Rényi was born on the 20th of March 1921. To celebrate this occasion, the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are organizing a high-profile conference, representing modern probability, graph theory and networks, information theory, dynamical systems, number theory and other fields in Rényi's spirit. That is: not respecting strictly the borders between these and possibly other areas of pure and applied mathematics.
International Symposium on Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS2022) June 20 – 24, 2022 The conference has been postponed to 2022 and it will bring forth recent advances and trends in several areas of nonparametric statistics, in order to facilitate the exchange of research ideas, promote collaboration among researchers from all over the world, and contribute to the further development of the field. The program will include plenary talks, special invited talks, invited talks, contributed talks and posters on all areas of nonparametric statistics.
42nd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) June 27 - July 1, 2022 Previously scheduled for July 2021, the conference will take place in 2022. SPA Conferences are organized under the 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. This iteration will be hosted by Wuhan University.
33rd European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS 2022) July 18 - 22, 2022
40th Finnish summer school in Probability and Statistics May 23-27, 2022
São Paulo Advanced Science on Singular Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and their Applications August 2-13, 2022

Head of the LSM at PSI and Professor of Applied & Computational Mathematics at EPFL The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) and the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) jointly seek to appoint a dynamic personality with strategic thinking abilities as Head of the Laboratory for Simulation and Modeling (LSM) at PSI, and as tenured Full Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics at EPFL. This is a full-time position. With the research activities being primarily located at PSI, demonstrated research excellence in the development and analysis of methods for data-intensive science and high-performance computing in a multi-physics context is expected. Due to the multi- and interdisciplinarity of the LSM, there is a particular interest for a strongly integrative personality with a wide background in natural and engineering sciences. Demonstrated leadership experience and scientific management skills, as well as a strong interest for teaching and education, are essential. Applications including a motivation letter, a curriculum vitae with a list of research outputs, a statement of research (max. 3 pages) and teaching interests (max. 1 page), as well as the contact information of at least five references who are ready to supply their letter upon request, should be submitted in PDF format via https://facultyrecruiting.epfl.ch/position/33980418 by October 31 2021. Enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Victor Panaretos, Director of the Institute of Mathematics, EPFL (e-mail:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Prof. Andreas Pautz, Director of the Nuclear Energy and Safety Division, PSI (e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots.
