The Future of the Statistical Sciences Workshop

On Monday and Tuesday, November 11 and 12, at the Royal Statistical Society’s offices in London, the International Year of Statistics-organized Future of the Statistical Sciences Workshop will be held November 11 and 12. The presentation sessions at this workshop will be viewable online thanks to Wiley Publishers.

The Future of the Statistical Sciences Workshop is an invitation-only event that brings together 100 invited participants from around the world—statisticians, scientists who collaborate with statisticians, science writers and representatives of funding agencies.

A major workshop outcome will be a paper—produced by a professional science writer—that will be targeted to worldwide funding agencies. To help the Statistics2013 Steering Committee prepare this paper and set the tone for the workshop, we invite you to submit a brief statement describing your perspective on the current and near-term future state of the statistical sciences with which you are most familiar. We will compile all submitted perspectives to develop a global view.

You can email your perspective to me at ron@amstat.org.

Thank you for your on-going support for the International Year of Statistics.
