Fellows Research Meeting

The CSSM Fellows Meetings aim to provide an ongoing opportunity for researchers actively working in areas of interest to the Centre to present both work in progress and recent research results to an audience of fellow researchers and senior professionals who are also working in these areas. In particular, these meetings provide a high level forum for the dissemination of this research as well as the opportunity for stimulating and constructive discussion and debate on issues that are raised as a consequence. Ideally, participation in the Fellows Meetings should lead to the generation of useful inputs for further research. In this spirit, presentations at the meetings can therefore be relatively 'technical'

Participation in the Fellows Meetings is by invitation, with a planned maximum of 25 participants at any one time. There are four presentations at each Meeting, with three Meetings held a year. All participants are encouraged to make a presentation at a Meeting. The choice of topic is entirely up to the individual concerned, but ideally should be in an area of interest to the Centre, i.e. related to any combination of applied statistical inference, statistical methodology, survey and census methodology and the methodology of official statistics.

 Meetings are presently held from 10:00 am (coffee at 9:30) to 4:30 pm in the Conference Centre of Trapper’s Motel, 2 Lockyer Street, Goulburn. Lunch and morning and afternoon tea are provided. Goulburn has been chosen as the venue because it represents a location that is (very roughly) approximately equidistant in terms of real travel time from Canberra, Wollongong and Sydney.

Goulburn 15 was a special event, A symposium to honour Dr Ken Brewer on the occasion of his 80th Birthday. The event was held at ANU in Canberra, instead of the usual Goulburn location. The meeting recognised the significant contributions to the discipline and profession of statistics in Australia and internationally that Ken has made over a career spanning 60 years. He has developed innovative theory and practical methods in sample design and estimation, time series methods and the foundations of statistics inference. His career includes major appointments at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and the Australian National University. Ken has also made a long term contribution to the Statistical Society of Australia. The symposium was attended by over 50 people.
