Bayesian Society
The Bayesian Society is an international learned society devoted to the promotion, development, and application of Bayesian methods across science and public life. Founded in the early 21st century, the Society brings together researchers, practitioners, and students from institutions such as University of Cambridge, Harvard University, University of Oxford, Princeton University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its activities intersect with professional communities at Royal Statistical Society, Institute of Mathematical Statistics, American Statistical Association, European Mathematical Society and Association for Computing Machinery.
The Society was established following meetings that involved figures from University College London, Imperial College London, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley and University of Chicago. Early convenings included participants associated with projects at Bell Labs, Los Alamos National Laboratory, RAND Corporation, Microsoft Research and Google DeepMind. Founding members included scholars who had worked on initiatives at Royal Society, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Wellcome Trust and European Research Council. The Society’s early agenda drew on methodological advances developed by researchers affiliated with Columbia University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University and Carnegie Mellon University.
The Society’s mission is to advance Bayesian inference, decision analysis, and probabilistic modeling in collaboration with organizations like World Health Organization, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, European Commission, National Science Foundation and Horizon 2020. Objectives include fostering research partnerships with laboratories such as Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, CERN and Max Planck Society; supporting pedagogy linked to curricula at University of Pennsylvania, ETH Zurich, University of Toronto and Australian National University; and promoting ethical practice alongside bodies like UNICEF, GAVI and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Governance is modeled on structures used by American Association for the Advancement of Science, Royal Society, Academia Europaea and National Academy of Sciences. An elected council includes representatives from institutions such as University of Melbourne, Seoul National University, Peking University and University of Tokyo. Membership categories mirror those of IEEE, Royal Statistical Society and Association for Computing Machinery, with tiers for fellows who have ties to Nuffield College, Trinity College Dublin, Sorbonne University and Sciences Po. The Society maintains committees for standards and ethics that liaise with panels at Council of Europe, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and Food and Agriculture Organization.
Annual and thematic conferences draw presenters from venues including Institute for Advanced Study, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Santa Fe Institute and Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Satellite workshops have been hosted in collaboration with NeurIPS, ICML, AISTATS and UAI; summer schools have partnered with Les Houches School of Physics, Banff International Research Station and Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. The Society has staged symposia that included delegates from World Economic Forum, International Monetary Fund, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Asian Development Bank.
The Society publishes journals, proceedings and monograph series with editorial boards drawn from Oxford University Press, Springer Nature, Cambridge University Press and Elsevier. Regular publications feature contributions by authors affiliated with Nature Research, Science Media Group, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Awards recognize lifetime achievement, early-career impact, and applied innovation—past honorees have been connected to Fields Institute, Guggenheim Fellowship, MacArthur Fellowship and Royal Medal. The Society also administers prizes that parallel those from Royal Society, Abel Prize committees, and entities like Simons Foundation.
Educational initiatives include online courses co-developed with Coursera, edX, FutureLearn and university partners such as UC Berkeley Extension, Imperial College Business School and National University of Singapore. Outreach targets policymakers and journalists through briefings in venues like European Parliament, United States Congress, House of Commons and Bundestag. Public-facing events have featured collaborations with museums and centers such as Science Museum, London, Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History and Centre Pompidou.
Strategic partnerships span academia, industry, and international agencies. Academic collaborations involve King's College London, McGill University, The University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University; industrial partners include Amazon Web Services, IBM Research, DeepMind and Facebook AI Research. Programmatic partnerships have connected the Society to initiatives at European Space Agency, NASA, OECD and International Telecommunication Union. The Society has engaged in joint projects with foundations and funders such as Wellcome Trust, Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Carnegie Corporation.
