Statistics Day

07.06.2006

On 22nd June 2006, Idescat organised the Statistics Day, thus providing continuity with the previous editions organised by the Universitat de Girona (2005), the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (2004), the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (2003), the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (2002) and the Universitat de Barcelona (2001). Statistics Day is a good chance for the statistical community to gather together in order to comment on and debate issues of common interest from the academic, institutional or professional standpoint.
