Biostatnet

La red temática BIOSTATNET quiere ser el núcleo de conexión de los investigadores españoles de Bioestadística, con un enfoque flexible, abierto, integrador e interdisciplinar. Esta Red, pionera en España, consta de 8 nodos y 224 miembros liderados por estadísticos universitarios con proyectos propios de investigación, experiencia docente en bioestadística y colaboración estrecha con investigadores biomédicos. BIOSTATNET agrupa y representa las distintas líneas de investigación de cada uno de los nodos involucrados. Sus objetivos principales son:

Coordinar la investigación y la docencia de bioestadística en España, permitiendo su proyección internacional;
Potenciar la formación adecuada en bioestadística;
Favorecer su transferencia y aplicabilidad en biomedicina.

Summer School on Modern Methods in Biostatistics and Epidemiology

31 MAY -13 JUNE 2020. CISON DI VALMARINO-TREVISO, ITALY CASTELLO BRANDOLINI COLOMBAN The Summer School on Modern Methods in Biostatistics and Epidemiology is held in the Brandolini Colomban Castle located in Cison di Valmarino, in the Northeast of Italy. The School offers introductory and advanced courses in biostatistics and epidemiology, and their application to clinical and etiology research and public health. Modern medical research is becoming increasingly formalized. Today researchers, physicians and health professionals are encouraged to use scientific data, including controlled experiments and well-structured observational data as the source for decision making. Evidence based medicine is entering into many subspecialties, including public health science. This School provides participants insight into available analytical tools for planning research, handling data and interpreting results. Better understanding of scientific medical papers is also a goal and it requires not only knowledge of the topic being investigated but also an understanding of the research methods being used. The final deadline for registration is May 24, 2020. More info about it in: http://www.biostatepi.org/

35th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling (IWSM2020)

July 19 - 24, 2020. Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. The 35th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling (IWSM) will be held in Bilbao 19-24 July 2020. IWSM is one of the major activities of the Statistical Modelling Society, founded with the purpose of promoting and encouraging statistical modelling in its widest sense. The workshop aims to involve both academic and professional statisticians and data analysts with a particular focus on real data problems which involve an element of novel statistical modelling, or novel model application. Papers focusing on applications with important substantive implications as well as methodological issues are welcome. Submissions by students and young researchers are particularly encouraged. All the accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of the Workshop. IMPORTANT DATES ================== Registration and abstract submission begins: December 1, 2020 Deadline call for oral presentation abstracts: February 15, 2020 Deadline call for poster presentation abstracts: April 1, 2020 Early registration deadline: April 30, 2020 Short course: July 19, 2020 Conference: July 20-24, 2020 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS =================== Maria Durban (University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain).
