- Date: 31 August 2012
The Royal Statistical Society’s Annual International Conference takes place next week in Telford between 3 and 6 September. The conference will feature high-profile international plenary speakers, invited and contributed presentations, awards presentations, poster sessions, short courses and workshops, and a busy social and networking programme.
Confirmed plenary speakers include Hal Varian (Google), Martine Durand (OECD), David Hand (Imperial College) and Anthony Davison (EPFL). Andrew Dilnot, new Chair of the UK Statistics Authority, will also give a keynote address.
Of particular interest to readers of Significance will be a talk by James Grime from the Millennium Mathematics Project at the University of Cambridge on Alan Turing, one of our great 20th century mathematicians, a pioneer of computer science and one of the leading code breakers of Bletchley Park during World War II. The session will present a history of both Alan Turing and Enigma, the apparently unbreakable code used by the German military, and will include a full demonstration of an original WWII Enigma Machine!
