The Young Statisticians’ Section of the Irish Statistical Association (Young-ISA) was formed in 2019 to create and cultivate a network of career-young statisticians across Ireland, supporting their professional development and providing a link to the Irish Statistical Association.
We are thrilled to announce our joint webinar with the British and Irish Region (BIR). The Young-ISA webinar joint with the BIR Committee on Statistical Ecology aims to bring together many career-young statisticians in Ireland to focus on the application and theoretical development of statistical ecology.
