Warning: Phishing Attempt In the last months a phishing attempt is underway, targeting members of our Society. The author poses as the Society's president, and asks for urgent help and/or a wire transfer. Please ignore/delete any such emails. More generally, if you are ever doubtful about the authenticity of an email appearing to originate from a Bernoulli Society officer, please do not hesitate to double-check with the specific officer directly but using the email in their official webpage (not responding to the suspicious email).

It takes place every two years, since 1887, and it represents the leading congress on statistics and data science worldwide. The programme will span the full field of statistics and data science including academia, business, industry, government and official statistics in line with the breadth of the ISI and the Associations affiliated with the ISI. As part of the scientific highlights, the Bernoulli Society will feature several special lectures:
Refer to the conference website for any updates, as well as for further details on the conference. Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 2026 March 2–6, 2026 The 17th Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics will be held in March 2026, in Montevideo, Uruguay. The congress, promoted by the Latin American Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics and the Latin American Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main event in these fields in the region. It occurs every two/three years and attracts researchers and students from the most important Latin American centers. It has already been organized in Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Check the conference website for further details. European Meeting of Statisticians 2026 August 24–28, 2026 The 35th European Meeting of Statisticians will take place in August 2026, hosted by Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland. The EMS, sponsored by the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main conference in statistics and probability in Europe. It serves as a central forum where statisticians from all regions come together to share ideas and discuss the latest advances across the wide spectrum of statistics and probability theory. Check the conference website for further details. ________________________________________ Job Offers Postdoc Position in Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes – São Paulo State The Stochastic Systems Modeling project in São Paulo state is recruiting one post-doctoral research fellows in the fields of Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.
