Travel Support for The Future of Statistical Sciences Workshop, London

“统计科学的未来”研讨会将于2013年11月11日至12日在伦敦举行。本次研究会议是国际统计年的顶点活动。它是由创立国际统计年的5个学会（美国统计学会（ASA）、国际生物计量学会（IBS）、国际数学学会（IMS）、国际统计学会（ISI）和皇家统计学会（RSS））组织的。研讨会不仅将汇集研究人员，还将汇集来自全球的思想领袖，包括正在崛起的新星统计领域的初级研究人员，来自数据密集型领域的科学家，资助者和专业科学作家，讨论统计科学的现状和未来方向，并考虑推进该专业的可行策略。将这些统计和其他领域的领导者与其他参与者聚集在一起，将为加强现有合作和建立新的合作提供一个难得的机会，这将大大增强未来的统计工作队伍。除了这些好处之外，还将开发并广泛提供更多的在线存在和在知名科学期刊上发表文章，以及一份关于统计和统计工作人员的现状和未来方向的论文。有关会议的更多信息可在以下网址找到：http://www.statistics2013.org/about-the-future-of-the-statistical-sciences-workshop/This奖励支持美国初级研究人员、妇女和代表性不足群体成员参加将于2013年11月11日至12日在伦敦举行的国际研讨会。这个讲习班是由世界上五个最大的专业统计学会组织的。统计学家在众多领域工作：推动科学发展；创造新的方法论；提供影响公共政策的信息；让我们的药品更有效，让我们的食品更安全，让我们的地球更美好。统计学家来自多种文化，说多种语言，并通过多种途径将统计作为他们的职业。本次研讨会将展示统计的广度和重要性，并强调未来十年统计研究的非凡机遇。讲习班将汇集各种顶级统计研究人员，包括许多相对年轻的研究人员、妇女和少数民族，以及思想领袖，包括不同领域的非统计人员，并使他们和其他与会者有机会思考统计作为一门学科应该走向何方，以及可以指导我们未来的经验教训。这将是一个统计科学家和其他领域的科学家可以互动和发展未来共同愿景的空间。

"The Future of Statistical Sciences" workshop will be held in London November 11-12, 2013. This research conference is the capstone event of the International Year of Statistics. It is being organized by the same five societies (American Statistical Association (ASA), International Biometric Society (IBS), International Mathematical Society (IMS), International Statistical Institute (ISI), and the Royal Statistical Society (RSS)) that founded the International Year of Statistics. The Workshop will bring together not only researchers but thought leaders from across the globe, including junior researchers in statistics who are rising stars, scientists from data-intensive fields, funders, and professional science writers to discuss the current state and future directions of the statistical sciences and to consider actionable strategies for advancing the profession. Bringing these statistical and other leaders together with other participants through this Workshop will provide an extraordinary opportunity to enhance existing collaborations and build new ones, which will greatly enhance the future statistical workforce. In addition to these benefits, a greater online presence and publications in high-profile scientific journals, a paper on the current state and future directions of statistics and the statistical workforce will be developed and made widely available. More information about the conference can be found at: http://www.statistics2013.org/about-the-future-of-the-statistical-sciences-workshop/This award supports the participation of U.S. junior researchers, women, and members of underrepresented groups in an international workshop to be held in London November 11-12, 2013. The workshop is being put together by the five largest professional statistical societies in the world. Statisticians work in a vast array of fields: advancing science; creating new methodology; providing information that shapes public policy; making our medicines more effective, our food safer, and our planet better. Statisticians come from many cultures, speak many languages, and arrive at statistics as their profession through many paths. This workshop will showcase the breadth and importance of statistics and highlight the extraordinary opportunities for statistical research in the coming decade. The workshop will bring together a diverse group of top statistical researchers, including many relatively young researchers, women and minorities, and thought leaders, including non-statisticians in diverse areas, and give them and other participants an opportunity to think about where statistics should go as a discipline and the lessons learned that can guide us in the future. It will be a space in which statistical scientists and scientists in other fields can interact and develop a shared vision for the future.
