Networking Biostatistics is a short international COSTNET conference
organized by Italian and Dutch International Biometric Society (IBS)
regions to promote networks among IBS regions, networks among
biostatisticians, early career researchers and PhD students, and
collaboration among biomedical researchers and biostatisticians in
general, looking for network procedures and statistical methods for
a real contribution in modelling modern biomedical data.

biomedical data.
2. Short poster presentations: poster contributions will be
