The American Institute of Statistics and Applied Mathematics (SAMSI) was founded in 2002 and funded by the National Natural Fund of the United States. Its main partners are Duke University, North Carolina State University and Chapel Hill Campus of the University of North Carolina. In response to the most difficult and important data and model challenges in the field of statistics and applied mathematics, SAMSI brings together researchers from academia, industry, national laboratories and government agencies to study, exchange and solve these problems. At the same time, every year SAMSI will carry out various forms of short-term curriculum training, exchange the most cutting-edge theories and methods of disciplines, to promote the development of statistics and applied mathematics.

Establishing a fixed international cooperation with SAMSI aims to actively promote and promote international academic exchanges among statistical disciplines, expand international influence, and build the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education of Frontier Theory and Application of Statistics and Data Science into an international academic platform for publishing and disseminating first-class research results, so as to provide a basis for domestic statistical science research.
