Lisbon, 5-9 September 2011

First Announcement

The 17th European Young Statisticians Meeting will be held 
in Lisbon, Portugal, during 5 - 9 September 2011. 
The conference is organized by young statisticians for young 
statisticians, under the auspices of the European Regional 
Committee of the Bernoulli Society. The aim is to provide 
a scientific forum for the next generation of European 
researchers in probability theory and statistics. 

The meeting will gather about 46 participants from 23 European 
countries. Participants are less than 30 years old or have 
2 to 8 years of research experience. They are chosen by 
invitation only based on scientific merits and in a uniformly 
distributed way in Europe (2 participants from Switzerland).  

Every participant will give a talk of 25 minutes and write an
extended abstract introducing his/her research subject, which 
can cover any topic in the field of probability and statistics. 
There will be no parallel sessions. For the first time in these 
meetings, a special issue of "Communications in Statistics - 
Theory and Methods" will be devoted to the 17th EYSM. It will 
include selected papers strongly correlated to the talks of 
the conference.

Applicants are requested to submit a short CV (up to one page) 
and a short abstract of a potential talk (up to a half page) 
per e-mail to Michaela Paul (michaela.paul using ifspm.uzh.ch).
