Statistics Student Competition Statistics Student Competition
The Iranian Statistics Competition (ISC) is an annual scientific event organized by the Iranian Statistical Society (ISS) among undergraduate (Bachelor's degree) students in Statistics. The main objectives of the ISC are to promote curiosity and interest in statistics among students, search for the talented persons with statistical knowledge to join the society and make a scientific platform for scientific and cultural communications among universities and institutes. Another objective of organizing such an event is to promote teamwork and collaboration among students to achieve mainstream goals.
The ISC is designed under two categories: individual and a three-person team. Every university/institute awarding the Bachelor's degree in Statistics is allowed to take part in the ISC by introducing a team, in which each of the three attendees is a student at the time of competition. The scientific committee consists of five university professors appointed by the ISS, and the event is held in summer each year.
