ScoVa16 Workshop
ScoVa16, the first Scotland and Valencia workshop on Bayesian Statistics, is a two-day workshop which brings together Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland (BioSS) and Valencia Bayesian Research Group (VaBaR). Its purpose is to share research ideas and explore collaboration opportunities in the area of Bayesian Statistics, with special attention to new methodologies and applications to Agriculture, the Environment, Food and Health.
ScoVa16 will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Universitat de València, Burjassot, València, on January 28th and 29th, 2016.
