The Short Course Committee for the 2017 ISI World Statistics Congress (ISI-WSC-2017) in Marrakech, Morocco has been appointed. The ISI-WSC-2017 has been asked to develop a short course programme to serve the diverse needs of participants at the ISI-WSC-2017. The ISI-WSC-2017 is inviting the members of the ISI and its Associations to submit proposals for short courses.

The ISI views the short course programme as an important part of its statistical capacity building activities. Therefore, courses aimed at the development of statistical capacity of participants, including young statisticians and those in the local region, are especially welcome. The proposals received from members and other sources will be reviewed by the ISI-WSC-2017, which will develop the short course programme for ISI-WSC-2017 and submit it to the Executive Committee of the ISI for approval.
