The XLII Congreso Nacional de Estadística, Investigación Operativa y Ciencia de Datos, SEIO 2026, took place in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) from 2 to 5 September 2026.
Enrique Miranda and Ignacio Montes attended the conference, where they presented the following works:
- Análisis del efecto del redondeo en tests de normalidad mediante el uso de conjuntos aleatorios, by Marina Iturrate-Bobes, Ignacio Montes and Raúl Pérez-Fernández.
- Comparación de criterios de optimalidad para probabilidades imprecisas, by Nicolás Carrizosa, Ignacio Montes and Enrique Miranda.
The conference was held at the University of Santiago de Compostela and brought together around 600 participants, with four renowned plenary speakers: Peter Bühlmann, Irène Gijbels, Jiming Jiang and José Fernando Oliveira. In addition to the extensive scientific programme, we also had the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic social programme, including a welcome cocktail in the city centre of Santiago, a boat trip along the Ría de Arousa, and a wonderful gala dinner at the Pazo de Vista Alegre.
During the SEIO Society meeting, it was announced that SEIO 2028 will take place in Zaragoza, while SEIO 2029 will be held in Barcelona. It is always a pleasure to attend conferences organised by SEIO, where we can not only share our scientific advances but also meet friends and colleagues from different universities. We are therefore already looking forward to the next SEIO conference in Zaragoza!
Finally, we would like to congratulate our friend and colleague Juan Baz, from the UNIMODE research group at the University of Oviedo, who was awarded the prestigious Ramiro Melendreras Award during the closing ceremony. Congratulations, Juan!
