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). Please see https://www.ims-icsds2024.org/home for the link to submit your applications, no later than October 30.

Congratulations to 2024 ICSDS Student Travel Award recipients

The number of applications for Student Travel Awards this year has increased to higher than 110, covering many areas of statistics and data science. The award committee regrettably had to decline many quality applications due to the limited number of awards available, even though the ICSDS was able to increase the number of awards to 17, up from 12 last year, with the generous support from the Industry Friends of IMS (IFoIMS).

The award recipients are to present their papers in the ICSDS special Student Travel Award sessions, and will receive award certificates with US$800 each during the awards ceremony on December 19.
