Young Statisticians' Meeting 2000
10th-11th April 2000
London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
                                   


The Young Statisticians' Meeting is an annual day-long event that will next be held at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on the 10th and 11th of April 2000. There are usually around 120 participants, comprising research students in the latter stages of their PhD's (or other research qualifications) and young statisticians (in the first 5 years of their careers) in either academic, business or industrial institutions.

The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for participants to exchange research ideas both formally through oral and poster presentations and informally over lunch, dinner and the evening reception. In particular, the meeting is intended to foster a greater interaction between academic and professional statisticians.

The conference is arranged as a series of plenary and parallel sessions, with a wine-reception and poster session in the evening, where there will be an opportunity to meet some of the sponsors. The themes of individual sessions will not be formalised until the end of the year, but previous meetings have included sessions on environmental statistics, medical and pharmaceutical statistics, theoretical statistics, statistical computation, engineering statistics and quality control, and financial stochastic modelling, amongst others.

Registration will start at 11:30am on Monday 10th April and the conference will close at midday on Tuesday 11th April. The cost of the meeting is £50. This includes lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, wine reception, breakfast, morning coffee, accommodation for the night of 10th April and the conference registration fee.
