Call for Abstracts

Improve, connect, understand: Data and statistics in the age of artificial intelligence

Whether in research, business, public administration or society – data and statistics form the basis of our decisions and are a cornerstone of our democracy. Technological advances have increased data availability and the potential for data analysis and processing in unprecedented ways. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) offer tremendous opportunities, but their applications also raise technical, ethical and legal questions.

The 2026 Swiss Statistics Meeting provides a platform for the exchange of ideas on forward-looking, AI-driven applications, collaborative approaches, the fundamentals of data science and strategies to strengthen data literacy. Contribute your work and take an active role in shaping the dialogue on the use of reliable data and statistics as a basis for innovation and public trust.
