The Leeds Workshop is a well established annual statistical meeting and was founded 30 years ago by Kanti Mardia. Although begun as an internal event, it now enjoys the support of a number of visitors each year from other universities and research bodies around the world. These workshops usually extend over three days with input by one or more invited speakers. Over recent years, the theme of the workshop has reflected the growing, but not exclusive, departmental interest and expertise in bioinformatics, image and shape analysis, and wavelets.

The LASR2011 has marked the 30th anniversary of the workshop, and the following link gives the Mission of LASR and its achievements up to its silver anniversary: leaflet.

Organising Committee for LASR 2012:
