The Finnish Statistical Society

The Finnish Statistical Society, founded in 1920, is a learned, non-profit-making society. The purpose of the society is to promote the development of statistical theory and its applications, and to function as a link between statisticians and others working in different fields of statistics and research. There are some 400 members in the Finnish Statistical Society. They represent statisticians working in statistics departments of Finnish universities as well as in statistical offices and research institutes.

The Finnish Statistical Society is a member of the International Statistical Institute and a member of the European Courses of Advanced Statistics. The society is also a member in the Federation of Finnish Scientific (Learned) Societies.
