Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability
The Bernoulli Society aims to support the advancement of probability and mathematical statistics in the widest sense, through international contact and co-operation, the development of theoretical research and its application, the dissemination of knowledge inside and outside the circle of the workers in the field and the improvement of teaching methods at all levels. The Society works to give mathematical statisticians and probabilists from all countries an equal opportunity to join in and benefit from the advantages of the mutual exchanges provided by the organisation and to eliminate existing barriers between statisticians or probabilists working in academic institutions and those employed in agricultural, medical, meteorological, industrial and similar institutions. The Bernoulli Society became a Section of the ISI in 1975 as successor of the International Association for Statistics in the Physical Sciences, which was founded in 1961.
