Emerging Applications Section seeks new committee members

The Emerging Applications Section (EAS) of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join its committee for 2022.
 
The EAS offers a forum for statistical applications that do not fall into the remit of other sections. The role of EAS is to play a more active and forward-looking role in the Society’s strategic objective of greater understanding of an increasingly complex world. We normally organise 2-3 events a year and sessions at the RSS conference as well as other statistical conferences. Recent examples include the “Challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic” at the RSS 2021 Conference.
 
Being a member of the committee is a very rewarding experience. We are particularly looking for people who are keen to contribute new ideas for meetings and events, as well as discussing on the definition of “emerging applications”.  In a non-Covid scenario, we hold one online committee meeting every four months and one AGM at Errol Street per year, London (travel expenses paid).
 
If you would like to be considered for the committee, simply send an email (subject line “Emerging Applications Committee 2022”) to Clara Grazian at c.grazian@unsw.edu.au by 5pm on Friday 26 November 2021, with a short paragraph summarising your background, why you would like to join, and what you will contribute to the committee.
 
For the 2022 committee, we particularly welcome applications from early career academic or industry statisticians from different disciplinary backgrounds.
 
The RSS is committed to ensuring an inclusive and welcoming environment for all who care about good data and statistics.
