We are holding a conference to celebrate almost twenty years of operation of CRiSM, the flagship research centre of the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick. This marks a relaunch with expanded scope and growing activities. The aim is to bring together a broad audience with interests across CRiSM’s remit: covering theoretical & applied statistics, machine learning, mathematical finance and probability. It will feature four keynote speakers as well as many invited talks, including a selection of current and former members of CRiSM. Our aim is to foster discussion between different parts of the research community, to explore the broad challenges that will shape the research landscape during CRiSM’s next chapter, and to spark new collaborations.
