The event will provide a space for the exchange of knowledge and experience between the academic community, public administration and business. The conference is also intended to disseminate research results and promote methods of multivariate statistical analysis among young researchers and professionals using data in their work.
– The development of data analysis methods and artificial intelligence now affects almost every area of life – from science and public administration to business and healthcare. The MSA-SKAD 2026 conference will offer an opportunity to discuss current methodological challenges and their applications across various fields. We hope that the joint MSA-SKAD 2026 conference will contribute to defining new directions for the development of statistics and to building international research cooperation

The conference, organised by the Department of Statistical Methods at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology of the University of Lodz, will host approximately 80 participants, including at least 10 speakers from abroad.
