We are delighted to announce the 40th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling (IWSM2026), which will take place in Oslo, Norway, from 28th June to 3rd July 2026: https://mn.uio.no/iwsm2026/.

We are seeking novel and original contributions to the wider field of Statistical Modelling. Papers providing advances in the development of statistical models that are well motivated by a contemporary data scenario or application problem are particularly welcome. This includes contributions to estimation, inference, and computation for such modelling problems. Papers focusing on applications with important substantive implications as well as methodological issues are welcome, including new developments in Data Science and Machine Learning. Submissions by students and young researchers are particularly encouraged.

Oral presentation submission deadline: 15th February, 2026.
Poster presentation submission deadline: 28th March, 2026.
