NICDA Workshop 2026

The annual workshop of the NICDA group features presentations from group members on their work in progress and completed projects. It is a space for discussion designed to share ideas and feedback among the group members. This edition of the workshop serves as a connection point for the ongoing project “Nonparametric Statistical Inference for Non-Euclidean, Dependent, and Censored Data” (NSINED; PID2024-158399NB-I00).
