The aim of the conference "Mathematical Statistics and Applications" is to provide an opportunity for statisticians, specialy PhD and young researchers, from various countries to meet and present their work at an international meeting.

Its programm is structured on one side around two courses given by world-renowned researchers, presenting methods of mathematical statistics or more generally applied mathematics, in relation to applications, and on the other side, on the talks of several participants.

The conference is organised every two years. The previous editions were held in Fréjus after 2008 and Luminy before.
