Travel Support for The Future of Statistical Sciences Workshop, London

“统计科学的未来”讲习班将于2013年11月11日至12日在伦敦举行。这次研究会议是国际统计年的巅峰事件。它由创立国际统计年的五个学会(美国统计协会(ASA)、国际生物统计学会(IBS)、国际数学学会(IMS)、国际统计研究所(ISI)和皇家统计学会(RSS))组织。研讨会将汇集全球各地的研究人员和思想领袖，包括后起之秀的统计学初级研究人员、来自数据密集型领域的科学家、资助者和专业科学作者，讨论统计科学的现状和未来方向，并考虑促进该专业发展的可行战略。通过这次讲习班，让这些统计和其他领导人与其他与会者汇聚一堂，将提供一个加强现有合作和建立新合作的非同寻常的机会，这将极大地加强未来的统计队伍。除了这些好处外，还将开发并广泛提供一份关于统计和统计队伍的现状和未来方向的论文，以及更多的在线存在和在知名科学期刊上发表的出版物。有关此次会议的更多信息，请访问：http://www.statistics2013.org/about-the-future-of-the-statistical-sciences-workshop/This奖支持美国初级研究人员、女性和代表不足群体的成员参加2013年11月11日至12日在伦敦举行的国际研讨会。该讲习班是由世界上五个最大的专业统计学会共同举办的。统计学家的工作领域非常广泛：推进科学；创造新的方法；提供塑造公共政策的信息；使我们的药物更有效、我们的食品更安全、我们的地球更美好。统计学家来自多种文化，会说多种语言，他们通过多种途径将统计学作为自己的职业。这次讲习班将展示统计的广度和重要性，并突出统计研究在未来十年的非凡机遇。讲习班将汇集不同的顶尖统计研究人员群体，包括许多相对年轻的研究人员、妇女和少数群体，以及思想领袖，包括不同领域的非统计学家，并使他们和其他参与者有机会思考统计学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。这将是一个空间，统计科学家和其他领域的科学家可以在其中互动，并为未来制定共同的愿景。

"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.
