//A Competition leading to a BarCamp on TECHNOLOGY FORESIGHT AND 
STATISTICS FOR THE FUTURE/

http://mox.polimi.it/barcamp_sco2013/

*Deadline: **30th April***

We challenge young (< 33 years) statisticians to envision statistical 
models and methods that will have an impact on the development of 
technology in the next 25 years, before the 175-th anniversary of 
Politecnico di Milano.

Competitors should submit an essay describing their views on statistics 
for technology of the future,  a description of how they will present 
their work of science (slides, poster, movie, artifact, etc) and their 
cv to barcamp.sco2013.competition at mate.polimi.it. Group submissions are 
welcome. Each group will need to nominate a coordinator and only the 
coordinator's cv has to be submitted.

The authors of the 5 best proposals will be invited to participate to 
the SCo2013 conference where they will receive travel support (up to 500 
euros), conference registration and lodging. In the case of a group 
selection, the financial support will be given to the group coordinator.

The winners of the competition will be asked to lead the main stream of 
the BarCamp, within the SCo2013 meeting, sharing their ideas in progress 
and stimulating new perspectives on statistics and technology. All other 
competitors will be invited to present their proposals at the BarCamp.


Best regards,
