Prof Marien Graham from the Department of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education was invited to present workshops at two international conferences during October 2022.

The first, a two-day online workshop on ‘Statistical Quality Control’, was presented at the 2022 WCDANM (Workshop Computational Data Analysis and Numerical Methods) conference hosted by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (PIT) in Tomar, Portugal, and took place from 13–15 October. The WCDANM conference is a unique opportunity for researchers to share information about scientific research related to the areas of mathematics and statistics in general, with particular emphasis on new techniques used for computational data analysis and numerical methods in theoretical and practical fields. Special attention is paid to applications in medicine, biology, biotechnology, engineering, industry, environmental sciences, finance, insurance, management and administration. The conference provides a forum for the discussion of ideas that are of interest to the scientific community in general.

The second workshop dealt with ‘Quantitative Data Analysis’ and was presented at the 2022 South Africa International Conference on Education (SAICEd), which took place from 26–28 October. The SAICEd, organised by the African Academic Research Forum, is an international refereed conference dedicated to the advancement of practices in education. The conference offers a platform for academics and researchers from all over the world to deliberate, network and share perspectives, scholarship and expertise in the pursuit of excellence in education. Prof Graham is tremendously grateful for these opportunities to share her expertise and experience on a global scale.
