The Fields Institute annually hosts the prestigious Distinguished Lecture Series in Statistical Science (DLSS). This lecture series has been held annually since 2000, and consists of one general lecture and one more specialized lecture by an internationally prominent statistical scientist.

This series is co-sponsored by the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute.
