Winter School on Mathematical Statistics

The ERA Chair Team organised an online Winter School on Mathematical Statistics from 7 to 11 December 2020. This school, aimed at young researchers offered an excellent opportunity to learn about recent and important developments in mathematical statistics directly from leaders in their respective fields. Some PhD students and postdocs had the opportunity to present their work in a 30-minute talk.

More than 60 doctoral candidates from universities around the world attended the online winter school on mathematical statistics organised by the University of Luxembourg in the frame of the ERA Chair in Mathematical Statistics and Data Science “SanDAL”. Read the full news
