Dear all,
we would like to announce the first /StaTalk/ promoted by the young section of Italian Statistical Society (y-SIS), to be held in Milan, on April 24th, 2015.
*STATALK ON BIOSTATISTICS* (https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/events/statalk/...) Department of Mathematics "F. Enriques", Università degli Studi di Milano, via Saldini 50, Milano (Italy)
All the information, including the tentative program and the sign-up link for the conference, can be found on the conference website.
Statalks are a series of one-day workshop aimed at early career statisticians, i.e., master degree students, people carrying out a PhD, post-docs and young researchers. StaTalks are a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge on advanced topics of statistics in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The hosting research group will propose tutorials, seminars and interactive round tables on the main fields of research and application it is concerned. Participants can contribute bringing their own experience through presentations, ideas, poster and material to be shared in the debate. A StaTalk will be held every 6 months in a different city in Italy. StaTalks on Bayesian Nonparametrics and on Computational Tool for Statistical Modelling are already planned in Turin (autumn 2015) and Rome (spring 2016), respectively.
Registrations to the first StaTalk are now open. *No conference fees are due, but registration is mandatory*, using the form available on the website.
