The Belgian Statistical Society (BSS) was founded in 1937. The scope of the Society is to contribute to scientific progress in statistics by promoting co-operation between Belgian statisticians and to help the general public to get better understanding of the place of statistics in the modern world. The Society has currently over 300 ordinary members and 3 honorary members. The B-Stat News, the BSS Newsletter, is published three times per year in January, April and September. Scientific meetings are organised each year: BSS annual meeting, General Assembly meeting and two or three meetings organised by the pharmaceutical section.
