The Past, Present and Future of Edinburgh Statistics, An RSS Pre-Conference

In anticipation of the large RSS conference coming to Edinburgh in 2025, the Edinburgh RSS Local Group will be hosting a pre-conference, which highlights the past, present and future of statistics in Edinburgh. More specifically the past will showcase some of the hit speakers from RSS Edinburgh over the last few years, the present will be a panel of individuals working across Edinburgh in different forms of statistics and the future will host some early career researchers in a flash talks session. This will all be followed by the RSS Edinburgh AGM and a keynote speech from Ally McAlpine, Chief Statistician in the Scottish Government.

The Edinburgh RSS Local Group usually organises 5-6 events a year to actively engage the local statistical community and anyone with an interest in statistics. We also aim to share statistical expertise with local organisations and communicate the value of statistics to students. This year we have hosted events on the Scottish Census, AI, data visualisation, and a careers event for young people interested in statistics. The RSS is committed to ensuring an inclusive and welcoming environment for all who care about good data and statistics.
