5th Young-ISA Meeting

The Young Statisticians’ Section of the Irish Statistical Association (Young-ISA) was formed in 2019 with the objectives of creating and cultivating a network of career-young statisticians across Ireland, supporting their professional development and providing a link to the Irish Statistical Association.

This event is the 5th Young-ISA meeting that will bring together many career-young statisticians in Ireland to focus on Transferable Skills: Insights from Academia and Industry. This event offers early career researchers and PhD students an excellent opportunity to gain insights into advancing their careers in academia. We will host three keynote talks where keynote speakers will share their perspectives on crucial aspects of this journey.

There will also be a series of short research talks delivered by career-young researchers from different Irish universities, as well as a round table discussion with our keynote speakers on the theme of the event, with the opportunity for audience questions.

The event also dedicates one of its afternoon sessions to a joint event organised by Young-ISA and The British and Irish Region (BIR) of the International Biometric Society (IBS), featuring talks by early-career researchers from both Young-ISA and BIR.

We are also delighted to announce that this year we will have a poster session at the event. We invite you to sign up here to indicate if you would like to present a poster on the day.
