Join us in Seoul in 2026, June 25th - 27th, for the SCoDA workshop on Statistics for Complex Data, a global forum bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss methodologies and challenges in non-linear and geometric statistics, including shape analysis, topological data analysis (TDA), and high-dimensional, low-sample-size (HDLSS) settings.
The SCoDA project is a collaboration between Norway (University of Stavanger, Stavanger University Hospital, University of Tromsø), South Korea (Seoul National University), and Japan (University of Tsukuba).
Set in the vibrant city of Seoul on the campus of Seoul National University (SNU), the event offers an inspiring environment for exchanging ideas, fostering collaborations, and exploring the future of statistics in a world with an increasing amount of complex data.
Prior to the workshop, a Complex Data School will be held from June 24th to 25th, offering focused training in shape and geometric statistics for Master’s and PhD students.
We look forward to welcoming you to an exciting program of talks and discussions. If interested in participating, please contact the organizer as soon as possible.
Details regarding the schedule, abstracts, venue, and social program will be provided as soon as possible.
