July 22 - 26, 2019
Palermo, Italy
The European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS), sponsored by the European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main conference in statistics and probability in Europe. EMS is a conference where statisticians of all ages and from all regions meet to exchange ideas and talk about the newest developments on the broad field of statistics and probability theory. The conference is organized every other year.
***62nd ISI World Statistics Congress 2019
August 18 - 23, 2019
