ROSE-ECOTS REGIONAL meeting

This regional meeting focuses on institutional collaboration as a driver of joyful discovery, critical thinking, and AI-smart learning in statistics and data science education. Participants from universities and colleges across the region will engage in structured activities designed to move beyond individual practice toward sustained cross-institutional partnerships, explicitly linking local efforts with the global communities of eCOTS and the RoSE Network.

Focus areas include:

• Building cross-institutional teaching partnerships to co-design AI-aware curricula, assessments, and learning outcomes that emphasize reasoning, ethics, and human judgment.

• Creating pathways for institutions to share resources, policies, and teaching innovations related to AI use, supporting consistency while respecting local context.

• Leveraging eCOTS as a dissemination and reflection hub, encouraging collaborative session proposals, shared teaching narratives, and evidence-based contributions.

• Using the RoSE Network to connect regional collaborations to international research communities, special interest groups, and seminar series focused on statistics education in an AI-rich world.
