Aims of this Meeting, History
This meeting was set up in 1996 from the Technical University of Graz, Austria and
the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. In the following years Hungary and
Italy and finally Croatia 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.
