NRG is planning to hold a Zoom panel session on “Statistics in the Age of AI” this Spring. In this panel session, we would like to discuss how statistics can be useful for solving outstanding research problems in industry and the differences between statistical research in industry and in academia. Details forthcoming.

For the first time, NRG is organizing a session at the Indian International Statistical Association (IISA) Conference, which will be held June 12–15, 2025, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. See https://www.intindstat.org/conference2025/index for updates.
