International Day Of Women in Statistics and Data Science

At a time when data drives decisions across science, industry, and society, the voices shaping this landscape matter more than ever. This invited session brings together distinguished women researchers whose work reflects the power of diversity, collaboration, and intellectual curiosity in statistics and data science.

Through their journeys, the speakers will illustrate how meaningful connections—across disciplines, institutions, and cultures—emerge not only from shared research goals but also from openness, mentorship, and resilience. Their experiences reveal how collaborative environments can spark innovation, amplify impact, and create pathways for future generations of women in the field.

More than a showcase of research, this session is an invitation to reflect on how we build scientific communities that are inclusive, dynamic, and forward-looking. By fostering dialogue and embracing diverse perspectives, we strengthen our collective ability to tackle complex challenges and shape a more connected and equitable future for data science.

This session celebrates the role of women as catalysts for change, bridging ideas and people to advance knowledge and inspire the next generation.

This session is sponsored by the Portuguese Statistical Society an by the Portuguese Country Representative of CWS.
