2024 Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Probability - call for nominations

The Bernoulli Prize for an Outstanding Survey Article in Probability is to recognize authors of an influential survey publication in the area of probability. The paper should be timely in addressing areas of active or emerging importance but have been in circulation long enough for there to be evidence of its impact. The presentation of prize winner will be at the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Bochum in August 2024.

The nominations should be sent to Markus Heydenreich at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The deadline for accepting nominations is February 28th, 2023. More information is available at https://www.bernoullisociety.org/priz es?id=156.
