The 60th World Statistics Congress of the ISI is to be held from 27th – 31st July 2015 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The deadline for IASS Invited Paper Session topic proposals is November 8th, 2013.
If you have ideas for topics to be considered, please contact the Chair of the IASS Rio Programme Committee, Christine Bycroft christine.bycroft@stats.govt.nz.
Each topic proposal should include
- a title
- a brief description of the proposed session, including why it is an important topic given the international nature of ISI WSC
- an organiser (if possible)
- an indication of the speakers (speakers do not have to be finalised)
The selection criteria will take into account diversity, scientific quality and impacts.
Priorities will be given to ensure that the programme:
- Has a balance of organisers from around the world
- Has a good representation of organisers and/or speakers who are early career statisticians
- Has a good representation of both male and female organisers and/or speakers
- Is attractive to the diverse membership of the ISI and its Associations.
We are also looking for session organisers. If you are interested in organising an Invited Paper Session, then please contact Christine Bycroft with an indication of your area of interest.
