Aims of this Meeting, History

This meeting was set up in 1996 from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia and the Technical University of Graz, Austria. In the following years Hungary and Italy joined the group of countries participating to the initiative. It is dedicated to young statisticians doing actively research in theoretical and in applied statistics and who are willing to present their work in English.

On the other hand this meeting has also the aim to improve the transmission of cultural and scientific knowledge among all participants. For this reasons the program is designed to allow plenty of time for discussions, exchange of information and for making scientific contacts.

Three young statisticians from each participating country are invited to give an insight in their research activities.

This year the meeting is organised by the University of Ljubljana.
