Statistics and Data Science Workshop

Welcome to the webpage of the “Statistics and Data Science Workshop”, to be held in Bogotá, Colombia. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and students from local and international communities, fostering collaboration and innovation in the field.

The workshop will feature over 20 talks presented in a single-track format, ensuring that participants can attend all presentations. Our program is designed to benefit participants at all career stages, from students to established researchers. Further, it will include:

We encourage all attendees, regardless of their experience level, to actively engage in discussions and take full advantage of the collaborative environment. Join us in Bogotá for this enriching academic experience that promises to inspire and connect the next generation of statisticians!
