O’Bayes 2025 [με αθηναϊκό άρωμα]

Posted in Statistics with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 6, 2024 by xi'an


The next O’Bayes conference will take place in Athens, 8-12 June 2025. Registration is open, as well as a call for posters. As in (all?) earlier episodes of these Objective Bayes methodology conferences, speakers and discussants are invited by the scientific committee. And the first afternoon consists of tutorials on different aspects of Objective Bayes methodology. The conference will take place in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre. (Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend O’Bayes 2025, once again, due to my attending BayesComp 2025 the week after.)

We [Julien and myself] are quite pleased to announce that

  • the scientific committee for the workshop has been gathered
  • the webpage for the workshop is now on-line (with a wonderful walrus picture whose author we alas cannot identify)
  • the workshop is now endorsed by both IMS and ISBA, which will handle registration (to open soon)
  • the reservation of hotel rooms will be handled by Hurtigruten Svalbard through the above webpage (this is important as we already paid deposit for a certain number of rooms)
  • we are definitely seeking both sponsors and organisers of mirror workshops in more populated locations

As an item of trivia, let me recall that Svalbard stands for the archipelago, while Spitsbergen is the name of the main island, where Longyearbyen is located. (In Icelandic, Svalbarði means cold rim or cold coast.)
