Dear list member,

The STOR-i Doctoral Training Centre is pleased to announce a two-day STOR-i Masterclass at Lancaster University with Professor Anthony Davison (Institute of Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) on 5^th and 6^th June with places available for UK-based PhD students.

For the continuing development of STOR-i students’ research knowledge we hold a number of STOR-i masterclasses every year, typically given by visiting international experts in areas of STOR. For more information about STOR-i masterclasses, please visit our website http://www.stor-i.lancs.ac.uk/training/events/masterclasses.

On Wednesday 5^th June (10:30-15:00) and Thursday 6^th June (9:30-11:30), Professor Davison will give a masterclass entitled Bootstrap Methods and their application. Further details are available on the STOR-i website: http://www.stor-i.lancs.ac.uk/event-info/masterclass2-davison-d1.

As part of our commitment to training we are pleased to offer a limited number of masterclass places to PhD students from UK universities. We also have funding available to cover travel costs (i.e. standard rail costs with student railcard) for a limited number of UK-based PhD students. Please note that we cannot offer reimbursement for accommodation costs.
