Winter Schools at the Faculty of Statistics

The Faculty of Statistics launched its first Winter School in December 2010. The opening edition focused on Policies and Reproductive Behaviour and deserved a very positive feed back from its participants. Students coming from all over the world were selected based on their professional and scientific resume and have actively collaborated during classes, presenting case studies related to their home countries.

In order to guarantee equal opportunities of participation in the Faculty Winter Schools, students attending the 2010 Winter School edition are not elegible for the current call.
