The METMA Congress has been held every two years for the last nineteen years. The conferences have been held in different countries in Europe, with the last host being England at the University of Lancaster in 2024.

Both participation in the workshops and the scientific quality of the contributions have grown substantially since the first METMA, which is why in 2023 the first Congreso METMA-LATAM (Modelización Estadística Espacio Temporal - América Latina) is launched, which, like the METMA, aims to promote the development and application of spatial, temporal and mainly spatio-temporal statistical methods to different fields related to the environment. The general objective is to bring together professionals and researchers from different areas and countries around the world and especially from Latin America.

The first version of METMA-LATAM was held in Quito – Ecuador. Being its headquarters the National Polytechnic School. In 2025, the second version will be held in Barranquilla – Colombia, with the Universidad del Norte as its headquarters. The scientific program features sessions covering topics on the latest advances in theory, methods and applications. Articles and Posters are welcome. Interdisciplinary actions to solve environmental problems are very welcome.

There will be a special issue in the Polytechnic Magazine, which is indexed in SCOPUS/SIMAGO, where all oral contributions can participate, of course under a regular review process.
