Abstract
In the last two decades a drastic renewal has occurred in Statistics and in all the fields
that involve Statistics. New requirements have arisen from new kinds of data, while
technology has increased the ability of exploration and computation using massive
amounts of information. As a result, more and more disciplines have started making
an intensive use of statistical methods, driving the development of novel tools and
providing new questions to be answered in a wide range of new application settings.
In general, the production and the communication of results have changed in an
extremely rapid way.
The aim of this paper is to introduce the BarCamp as an innovative way of
producing and communicating statistical knowledge. For this purpose, we propose
an algorithm to organize a scientific BarCamp and we describe it in detail in Sect. 2.
In Sect. 3 we describe the BarCamp held at Politecnico di Milano and we discuss
the vision of Statistics for the next 25 years emerged during the event. Finally, some
conclusive observations are drawn in the section “Conclusions”.
