Report The EVA is the leading international conference in the field of extreme value statistics, bringing together renowned researchers from all over the world. Prior to the main conference, I attended a one-day workshop on _Statistical Modeling of Extremes_ and _Statistical Learning and Extreme Value Analysis_, which provided an excellent overview of recent theoretical and methodological advancements.

During the conference week, I had the opportunity to connect with many experts in extreme value analysis and to follow a broad range of stimulating talks. I contributed with a presentation in the session _Recent Advances on Stationary and Nonstationary Time Series_, where I presented results from our paper _Extreme Value Analysis based on Blockwise Top-Two Order Statistics_. In addition, I took part in the conference Data Challenge together with my colleague Dr. Alexis Boulin (RUB). Our approach is currently being written up as a working paper, titled _Extrapolating into the Extremes with Minimum Distance Estimation_. These contributions allowed me to receive valuable feedback and foster new collaborations.
