The VU-campus Statistics Seminar

The VU-campus Statistics Seminar is a joint seminar of the statisticians of the Mathematics department of the Vrije Univeriteit Amsterdam and of the Epidemiology & Data Science department of the Amsterdam University Medical Centers. The bi-monthly meetings are hosted at the campus of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The Seminar's speakers, ranging from PhDs to professors and people outside academia, presented work on topics like mathematical statistics, machine learning, computational statistics, biostatistics, and other fields of applied statistics.
