The Bernoulli Society is sponsoring the first International Day for Women in Statistics and Data Science (IDWSDS), an initiative from the Caucus for Women in Statistics (CWS) and the Portuguese Statistical Association (SPE). The online event will take place on October 11, 2022. There will be a place for both live and recorded presentations, in the spirit of the first Around the World conference. 

The aim includes showcasing women's contributions to the field and connecting women statisticians and data scientists around the world. This is in line with other recent initiatives designed to increase women in STEM disciplines, such as the International Day for Women in Mathematics, and ISI’s International Year of Women in Statistics and Data Science.  Please submit session ideas and sponsorship requests to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Our dear colleague Maria Eulália Vares has been awarded the inaugural Willem van Zwet Medal for Special Service to the Bernoulli Society in recognition of her outstanding service to the Bernoulli Society as Publications Committee member and chair, and as Editor of Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA). She played a key part in negotiations with Elsevier concerning Stochastic Processes and their Applications, showing great leadership in helping to obtain better prices and open access conditions for SPA and initiation of Elsevier's support for young researchers and students to participate in Bernoulli Society sponsored meetings, among other benefits. She has also served the Latin American Regional Committee and joined in organization of Bernoulli-sponsored events such as the Brazilian School of Probability, thus promoting the development of Probability and Mathematical Statistics in Latin America.
