Program

Each participant is assigned to one thematic workshop throughout the summer school, with 15–20 participants per workshop. The workshops cover selected subjects of statistical modeling and quantitative methods, including a basic introduction into the topic, advanced issues and new developments in the selected field, and practical exercises (see Workshops for details).

Keynote talks provide an overview of current cutting-edge topics that are of common interest in the domain of statistical modeling and quantitative methods. The keynote talks are presented by invited experts in the respective fields, and they are held as plenary sessions for all participants and instructors of the summer school (see Keynotes for details).

Participants are invited to present a poster of their ongoing project during the poster session of the summer school. Thereby, the poster session allows young researchers to discuss their work with peers and senior researchers, including the workshop instructors. In addition, an active poster presentation may facilitate getting reimbursement of the traveling and accommodation costs from participants’ home institutions. Last but not least, there will be refreshments and snacks to make the poster session a pleasant social experience.

The get-together for summer school participants interested in the “Compatibility of work and private life” provides the opportunity to meet successful researchers who will give insights into their individual ways of dealing with this topic.
