The 2023 IMS International Conference on Statistics and Data Science (ICSDS) takes place December 18–21, 2023, in Lisbon, Portugal. Program co-chairs Regina Liu and Annie Qu report on the latest developments:

Applications for the ICSDS Junior Researcher Travel Fund

To ensure inclusivity and accessibility of ICSDS to junior researchers all over the world, IMS is pleased to announce a new travel support fund for junior faculty and post-docs who do not have other forms of institutional support. This fund is generously sponsored by the Industry Friends of IMS (IFoIMS: https://imstat.org/industry-friends-of-ims-ifoims/). Please see https://www.icsds2023.com/ for the link submit your application, no later than October 20.

Congratulations to Student Travel Award awardees

The applications for Student Travel Awards increased drastically this year, covering many areas of statistics and data science. The award committee regrettably had to decline many very high-quality applications due to the limited number of awards, even though the conference was able to increase the number of awards to 12 from 10 last year, with the support from the Industry Friends of IMS (IFoIMS).
