LMU-NYU-Workshop “Making Data Work: Tools for Better Statistical Practice”

We invite you to join us at the LMU-NYU-Workshop “Making Data Work: Tools for Better Statistical Practice” in Munich, Germany on June 5-6, 2025. This interactive workshop brings together experts developing and evaluating tools that support learning and practice in statistics and data science.

Over two days, we will:

• Share and explore innovative tools for learning and applying statistics by presenting our approaches to one another,
• engage in hands-on sessions where we test each other’s tools and give direct feedback,
• discuss together how to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools and how to scale and communicate their impact,
• conclude with a collaborative brainstorming session on concrete ideas for future cooperation.

The workshop is designed for statisticians, educators, and tool developers who want to refine their approaches and connect with others tackling similar challenges. Attendance is limited to ensure deep engagement and interaction. Please find a tentative agenda attached.

If you would like to participate, please let us (markus.herklotz@stat.uni-muenchen.de) know by April 22 with a short description (4-5 sentences) of your tool and what you would like to present. If available, please also let us know whether you have already conducted any evaluation of your tool (e.g., user feedback, classroom use, pilot studies). We are interested in all stages of tools, from finished products to ideas still in early development for which you would like feedback.

If you are interested in attending but do not have access to funding, please let us know—we will do our best to identify additional resources to support your participation.Looking forward to your participation!

Best,

LMU Munich - Frauke Kreuter, Anna-Carolina Haensch, and Markus Herklotz
