                        University of Padova

 

 

Aims and Scope

==============

   Modern astronomy and cosmology heavily rely on statistical methods.  

At the same time, the recent explosion of available data, such as

resulting from current and future astronomical sky surveys, provides

unique challenges, and opportunities, to statistics.  Several

statistical challenges appearing in astrophysical research also arise

in other fields of physics, such as particle physics.

 

The aim of this workshop is to foster the interchange of ideas among

astronomers, physicists and statisticians working at, and with, the

University of Padova.  The event has three sessions dedicated to academic

talks by senior researchers, a junior speed session and a poster session

open to a limited number of participants.

 

The workshop is hosted by the Department of Statistical Sciences of the

University of Padova, and is co-organized with the Department of Physics

and Astronomy "G. Galilei" and the Confucius Institute Padova, with the

endorsement of the University of Padova and the Guangzhou University.

 

 

Call for Posters

================

   To present a poster, send a title and a half-page abstract in plain

text (ASCII format) to astro2017 a stat.unipd.it.

 

Acceptance of the poster will be notified after the abstract review is

completed.  Preference will be given to early career researchers. 

Presentation of the poster is subject to prior registration.

 

   Poster submission deadline:  July 28, 2017

 

 

To Register

   Registration fee waivers for "students" (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD) are

available, and will be distributed at the discretion of the scientific

committee.

 

Students must certify their status by sending a copy of their certificate

of enrollment or an attestation letter signed by their supervisor to
