The Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Statistics The Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Statistics is to recognize authors of an influential survey publication in statistics. The 2022 prize is given to Professor Ulrike von Luxburg (University of Tübingen, Department of Computer Science) for the article "A tutorial on spectral clustering", Statistics and Computing volume 17, pages 395–416 (2007).
New officers Johan Segers (UCLouvain, Belgium) has become our new Treasurer, succeeding Geoffrey Grimmett. Zengjing Chen (Shandong University, China) has become the Chairman of East-Asian and Pacific Regional Committee, succeeding Bikramjit Das. The new members of this regional committee are: Estate Khmaladze (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) Panki Kim (Seoul National University, Korea), Yingcun Xia (National University of Singapore), Xingqiu Zhao (Hong Kong Polytechnic University). We would like to thank Geoffrey Grimmett and Bikramjit Das for their dedicated work over previous years.
Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award 2023
The Bernoulli Society welcomes applications to the New Researcher Award 2023. Each awardee
shall deliver a talk at a special invited session during the ISI World Statistics Congress Conference
to be held in Ottawa, Canada, July 15-20, 2023, and will receive a funding up to 1000 € to offset
travel and other expenses. Bernoulli News will publish their pictures and a paragraph about their
work.
ISI Seeks New Director
The International Statistical Institute (ISI) is seeking a new Director to replace the current Director who will retire on 1 July 2022. The new Director should help develop a vision for the profession of statistics and the role the ISI can play in supporting it.
Call for nominations for the Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics
A new biennial prize has been created by the King Baudouin Foundation (https://www.kbs-frb.be/en/about-us), a large public utility foundation in Belgium. The prize is named after its sponsor, the statistician Peter J. Rousseeuw. The Rousseeuw Prize for Statistics will award pioneering work in statistical methodology.
A new open-access journal in data sciences The first issue of The Journal of Data Science, Statistics, and Visualization (JDSSV) is published by our sibling society IASC. More details are available at https://jdssv.org/index.php/jdssv.
In memoriam: Sir David Cox It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Sir David R.Cox, former president (1979-1981) and one of the most eminent members of The Bernoulli Society. He passed away on January 18, 2022, at the age of 97 (https://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/news-events/news/sir-david-cox-1924-2022).

The ninth One World webinar February 9, 2022 The ninth One World webinar, organized by YoungStatS, will be dedicated to Inclusion Process and Sticky Brownian Motions. Selected young researchers active in this area will present their recent contributions. 40th Finnish summer school in Probability and Statistics May 23-27, 2022
Conference on Stochastic Analysis and Stochastic Partial Differential Equations May 30-June 3, 2022
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
São Paulo Advanced Science on Singular Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and their Applications August 2-13, 2022
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.
