The Ethel Newbold Prize - call for nominations The Ethel Newbold Prize is to be awarded biannually to an outstanding statistical scientist in early or mid-career for a body of work that represents excellence in research in mathematical statistics, and/or excellence in research that links developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics. In any year in which the award is due, the prize will not be awarded unless the set of all nominations includes candidates from both genders. The award consists of the prize amount of 2500€ together with an award certificate. The awardee will be invited to present a talk at the following Bernoulli World Congress, Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or ISI World Statistics Congress. The nomination should include a letter outlining the case in support of the nominee, along with a curriculum vitae. Nominations as well as any inquiries about the award should be sent to Gesine Reinert at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Statisticians of all ages and from all regions will meet to exchange ideas and discuss the latest developments in the broad field of statistics and probability theory. The next EMS will be held in Warsaw in July 2023. More details will be available soon. 43rd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA) July 24-28, 2023 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. The next conference will be hosted by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.
23rd European Young Statisticians Meeting (EYSM) September, 2023 The European Young Statisticians Meetings is a series of conferences that is organized by and for young European statisticians under the auspices of the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society. Participation is by invitation only. ________________________________________ Events sponsored and co-sponsored by Bernoulli Society
One World YoungStatS Webinar November 9, 2022 The next One World webinar, organized by YoungStatS, will be dedicated to Recent challenges in model specification testing based on different data structures.
