Please note the information on the application process below before applying.

How can we improve the accessibility of statistical knowledge and the application of statistical methods to data in practice?

The interactive workshop “Making Data Work: Tools for Better Statistical Practice” brings together experts developing and evaluating tools that support learning and practice in statistics and data science.

Over two days, we will:

  • Share and explore innovative tools for learning and applying statistics by presenting our approaches to one another,
  • engage in hands-on sessions where we test each other’s tools and give direct feedback,
  • discuss together how to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools and how to scale and communicate their impact,
  • conclude with a collaborative brainstorming session on concrete ideas for future cooperation.

The workshop is designed for statisticians, educators, and tool developers who want to refine their approaches and connect with others tackling similar challenges. Attendance is limited to ensure deep engagement and interaction.

The workshop is a cooperation between LMU Munich and New York University (NYU), organized by: LMU Munich – Frauke Kreuter, Anna-Carolina Haensch, and Markus Herklotz; New York University – Jennifer Hill and George Perrett.
