Organized by the International Statistical Institute (ISI), the 66th World Statistics Congress (WSC) will take place on 11-15 July 2027 in Lusaka, Zambia.
The WSC will highlight the developments and contributions of statistics, statistical science, and data science in all aspects of life.

The ISI invites the statistical community to submit
** proposals for sessions for the Invited Paper Sessions (IPS) programme,
** abstracts for Contributed Paper/Poster Sessions (CPS).
The latter call is suitable for early and mid-career statisticians.
For the submission idended for CPS to be considered by the Scientific Programme Committee, it should include a title and an abstract (maximum of 500 words). Once accepted, a contributed abstract will be listed in the programme and presented as a contributed talk, or a poster presentation.
The deadline for CPS contributions is 8 October 2026.
