Francesco Maria Chelli is President of the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat). Full Professor of Economic Statistics at the Department of Economic and Social Sciences of the “Giorgio Fuà” Faculty of Economics of the Polytechnic University of Marche since 2006, Chelli was also Director of the Department of Economic and Social Sciences at this University, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, and the university representative for the University Network for Peace. He presided over the Italian Society of Economics, Demography and Statistics for two terms.Corrado Crocetta is Full Professor of Statistics at the University of Bari Aldo Moro. He has served as President of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS) and has played leading roles in numerous national and international research projects, including PRIN, PNRR, Interreg, and EU-funded initiatives, with a focus on sustainability, health, education, and statistical modeling. He has published extensively in international journals, and his research interests include statistical methods for sustainable development, PLS-PM modeling, official statistics, and the application of advanced statistical techniques to health, labor market, and tourism studies.Salvatore Ingrassia is a Professor of Statistics and Statistical Learning in the Department of Economics and Business at the University of Catania, Italy. His primary research interests include model-based clustering, computational statistics, and statistical learning. He has served as a referee for many scientific journals and has worked as an Associate Editor for the following journals: Advances in Data Analysis and Classification (ADAC), Computational Statistics and Data Analysis (CSDA), and Statistical Methods and Applications (SMAP). He has also acted as Guest Editor for special issues of ADAC, CSDA, and Econometrics and Statistics (ECOSTA) on topics related to mixture models and model-based clustering. Salvatore Ingrassia was President of the Classification and Data Analysis Group (CLADAG) of the Italian Statistical Society from 2015 to 2017 and has been a member of the Executive Board of the Italian Statistical Society for the 2020–2024 term. He has participated in numerous scientific committees for international conferences and workshops. He is the author or co-author of more than 150 publications.Maria Cristina Recchioni is a full professor of Economic Statistics at the Department of Economics and Social Science, Polytechnic University of Marche, in Ancona. She is the author of over 80 scientific publications, most of which have appeared in international journals. Professor Recchioni serves as co-editor-in-chief of Statistical Methods & Applications, an associate editor of  Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination, and an editorial board member of theEuropean Journal of Operational Research. She has collaborated with several research institutes and companies, including the Bank of Italy (Rome), ENEA (Rome), and Cineca (Bologna). Her research interests include: composite indicators; option pricing; stochastic volatility models and forecasting; calibration procedures; portfolio optimization; and linear and nonlinear multi-objective programming.
