Inaugural meeting Groningen Institute of Applied Statistics (GIAS)

Groningen has an abundance of deep expertise and knowledge in the field of applied statistics. However, in contrast to some other universities, this expertise is scattered around the various faculties and departments.  This creates missed opportunities for networking, sharing experience, funding, colloquia and teaching, and visibility.

Four statisticians from different faculties (Behavioural and Social Sciences, FSE, Medical Sciences, and Economics and Business) have decided to launch the Groningen Institute of Applied Statistics, a virtual institute aimed to build on the unique strengths of Applied Statistics in Groningen.

In this first meeting on 11 November, we will introduce the Institute and outline our aims. Two renowned applied statisticians, both affiliated to Groningen, will whet your statistical appetite, and you will have the opportunity to share your views on how the Institute could best promote our interests. Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
