Dear All,

Now is a good time to register for the NESG 2018 conference on Friday 25th May 2018 via our  website www.NESG.nl.

The NESG 2018 Keynote Lecture by

Peter C.B. Phillips  (Yale University)

is titled:

Dynamic Panel Modeling of Climate Change 
(abstract on the www.nesg.nl)

There will be a prominent poster session (for which we could extend the number of slots if necessary), but there is no need to present in order to attend.

We hope to be able to welcome you soon in Amsterdam,
