Jaromír Antoch is a full professor at the Charles University in Prague. His research interests include statistical computing, simulations, change point detection, robust and nonparametric statistics, industrial statistics and applications. He was chairman of the European Regional Section of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC) Board of Directors, president of IASC and council member of the International Statistical Institute. Jana Jurečková is a full professor at the Charles University in Prague. She has published over 130 papers in leading journals and coauthored 5 monographs. She has worked on relationships and behavior of robust estimators and nonparametric procedures since the 1970s. She has worked as a visiting professor in Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland and the USA. She is elected member of the International Statistical Institute, fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, member of the Bernoulli Society Council and of the ASA Noether’s Award Committee. Matúš Maciak is an assistant professor at the Charles University in Prague. His research work focuses on nonparametric estimation methods, change point detection and robustness. Recently he elaborated contemporary ideas in sparse fitting via convex optimization – atomic pursuit and lasso. He also gained experience during his stays at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Hasselt University and the University of Hamburg.  Michal Pešta is an assistant professor at the Charles University in Prague. His research interests include asymptotic methods for weak dependence, resampling methods, panel data, nonparametric regression, and errors-in-variables modeling. In the recent years, he has been developing the statistical methodology for non-life insurance. Michal Pešta has utilized the skills gained during his Ph D and postdoctoral stays (Hasselt University, University of Hamburg, HU Berlin, University of Alberta) to contribute to applied fields.
