REGISTRATION OPEN

The conference is limited to a maximum of 50 participants!

Eligible participants are final-year PhD students or researchers within six years of completing their PhD. Priority will be given to junior researchers based in Europe, although we encourage junior researchers from outside Europe to apply as well, as we hope to have a diverse mix of junior researchers.


Participation in the conference does not require a registration fee.

Thanks to the support of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the registration fee will be financed for every assistant. Attendance includes access to plenary lectures, panel sessions, oral and poster presentations, as well as coffee breaks, lunchs and gala dinner.


Accommodation is provided for a small fee of 40 euros.

Rooms at Residencia Yugo Los Bermejales (find more information below) have been reserved for the nights of December 10 to 14 (4 nights in total, including the night before and the night after the conference).
