7th Young-ISA Meeting

The 7th Young-ISA meeting is dedicated to Mixed Effects: The Benefits of Interdisciplinary Research. 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 7th Young-ISA meeting that will bring together many career-young statisticians in Ireland to focus on Mixed Effects: The Benefits of Interdisciplinary Research. This event offers early career researchers and PhD students an excellent opportunity to gain insights into the role of statisticians in interdisciplinary research. We will host three keynote talks where speakers will share their perspectives on interdisciplinary research, and discuss the opportunities and challenges for statisticians. 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. This year’s event will dedicate of one of its sessions to a structured networking activity, offering participants the opportunity to engage in small-group discussions on key topics within the theme and to build professional connections with peers and experts.
