Statistics
More than 50 students, early-career researchers, and internationally renowned experts in the broad field of time series analysis gathered in Larnaca, Cyprus, from June 17 to 20, 2026, for the Recent Advances in Time Series workshop. This in-person event offered participants the opportunity to explore modern developments in Time Series Analysis while learning from internationally recognized experts in the field. For four days, the workshop combined scientific presentations, academic discussion, and valuable networking opportunities in an environment designed to encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
The workshop was hosted at the Radisson Beach Hotel, providing an ideal setting for intensive scientific discussions while allowing participants to enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere.
The academic programme featured a rich selection of presentations covering several important areas of contemporary time series research. Participants attended talks on topics including inference for high dimensional, graphical and, functional time series models, change-point detection, factor models, models with partially missing observations, forecasting and long memory phenomena. A dedicated Poster Session also provided students and researchers with the opportunity to present their latest work, exchange ideas, receive feedback, and discuss future collaborations.
The workshop also featured keynote talks by researchers who shared their latest findings with the participants. The topics ranged from functional ARCH models, high-dimensional matrix autoregressions to graphical models for multivariate non-Gaussian time series.
Beyond the lecture room, the workshop created many opportunities for informal scientific interaction. During the breaks and throughout the program, participants gathered in various areas of the hotel, where discussions often continued long after the presentations had ended. These relaxed conversations allowed students to seek advice from established researchers, exchange research ideas with peers, and build professional connections that will continue beyond the workshop itself.
Hosting the event in Larnaca during June added another memorable dimension to the experience. With its warm Mediterranean climate and beautiful coastline, the workshop offered not only high-quality presentations but also a relaxed atmosphere for scientific exchange. After the daily program, participants explored nearby restaurants and combined their scientific discoveries with the unique hospitality that Cyprus is known for.
The workshop concluded with a conference dinner in the traditional village of Agia Anna, where participants enjoyed authentic Cypriot cuisine, local drinks, and live traditional music while reflecting on four productive days of learning, collaboration, and new friendships.
The organizers are grateful to the many speakers for their outstanding presentations, which build the core of the success of the workshop. International scientific exchange is crucial for the advancement of science and serves to inspire the next generation of scientists for the field.
