The Italian Statistical Society (Italian: Società italiana di statistica; SIS) is a scientific society established on 15 January 1939 as a non-profit juridical person by 42 founding members who approved the first statute with the fundamental aim of promoting the development of statistical sciences and their applications in economic, social, health, demographic, technological, productive, and many other fields of research. The Society carries out this task, assigned to it by the statute, through the organization of scientific meetings and conferences, publications, and collaborations with similar bodies at the national and international level.
