Research showcase
The Statistical Days will host the event "Research showcase" for the second time. It consists of presentations (20 min. + discussion 10 min.). The presentations should cover high-quality Finnish research that has been recently published or accepted for publication in a way that is understandable to statisticians other than those specialized in the field.
