An IRIS-HEP Blueprint workshop to summarize the current status of the LHC statistical ecosystem and identify priorities and needs for the coming years. The meeting will include short contributions as well as plenty of time for discussion.
The primary focus of the workshop is to inspect the state of the shared statistical ecosystem across the HEP community, with a focus on the LHC, identify and inspect gaps relevant for the HL-LHC given community survey feedback, and discuss approaches to bridging the statistical and machine learning worlds as ML becomes a more potent tool in the analyst's toolkit and area of focus in the HEP and statistics world.
The workshop will take place on 24-25 February 2026 in-person at CERN with a Zoom connection for participants that will need to attend remotely. Each day of the workshop will be scheduled from 13:00 - 18:00 CERN time with talks from 13:00 - 16:00 and then focused discussion from 16:00 - 18:00, where we aim to elaborate on the topics and challenges covered in the day’s talks.
