5. SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS AND SHORT COURSES

A statistics seminar is organised each week. A diversity of subjects is presented at this seminar. Speakers are mainly coming from outside the University and visitors of the Institute are among the contributors. From time to time, a joint statistics and econometrics seminar, organised in collaboration with CORE, takes place. At those occasions statisticians and econometricians meet and have extra opportunities to discuss on common research interests and elaborate joint research. Further, an applied statistics workshop is organised by the Institute on a regular basis. At this applied statistics workshop, emphasis is on talks in which an applied statistical problem is presented. There is also the doctoral seminar which is an extra stimulant for Ph.D students and other young researchers.
