Introduction

The IASE 2015 Satellite Conference will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from July 22-24, 2015, just before the 60th World Statistics Congress, July 26-31, also in Rio. An IASE Satellite conference takes place every two years, bringing together diverse people from around the world and the host country to share their passion, expertise and experiences in statistics education. Many delegates then continue to the larger WSC which also has numerous sessions relevant to statistics education, but some come just for the Satellite meeting.

The Satellite will bring together a group of experts, scholars, practitioners, and researchers, representing as many different countries as possible, to discuss views and approaches related to the Conference theme Advances in statistics education: developments, experiences, and assessments.
