WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Undergraduate students (BSc and MSc level): The selected keynote speakers and the talks of young colleagues will help you decide whether you prefer to stay in the academia or go into business or industry.

After your PhD should you continue at the university or try something else in business or industry? You will learn about the pros and cons from discussions with your colleagues in both groups. You will also find plenty of possibilities for future collaborations.

Postdocs and young assistant professors in statistics: This is a great opportunity to meet other young statisticians and start new collaborations.

PhD candidates, postdocs and assistant professors in other disciplines that use statistics regularly: This meeting will be a great chance for you to meet statisticians, find out about new ways to get better information from your data, and even establish lasting professional collaborations.
