*School on Robust Statistics: Theory and Computation*

*Date:* 15-17 May 2025 *Location:* Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra (Varese), Italy

The *School on Robust Statistics* https://datascience.maths.unitn.it/icors2025/school.html is an *educational event* tailored for students, early-career researchers, and professionals.

It precedes the International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS 2025) https://datascience.maths.unitn.it/icors2025/ and offers a unique opportunity to learn from leading experts in robust statistics.

The school will cover a broad range of topics central to robust statistics, starting with foundational principles and concepts that underpin robustness, such as breakdown points, influence functions, and the asymptotic properties of robust estimation techniques. These foundational elements are crucial for understanding why robust methods are indispensable in real data analysis, particularly in scenarios where standard approaches fail.

Whether you are a student just beginning your journey into robust statistics or an experienced researcher looking to stay at the forefront of the field, this school provides an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow in an intellectually stimulating environment.

*Lectures will be delivered in English.*

The school has an excellent lineup of top-class lecturers covering a range of diverse topics in Robust Statistics:

- Rik Lopuhaä (TU Delft, Netherlands) - Abhik Ghosh (Indian Statistical Institute, India) - Peter Rousseeuw (KU Leuven, Belgium) - Marco Riani (University of Parma, Italy) - Valentin Todorov (UNIDO, Austria)

*Registration:*

- *Opening Date:* 15 January 2025 - *Fee:* Free of charge - *Link to Register:* https://web.jrc.ec.europa.eu/remjrc/screen/meeting/16640/registration-form
