Annual Seminar
This event is planned in the framework of our interest group of statistics in transplantation medicine, where we aim to build a community, study best practices and methods in biostatistics and transplantation medicine, and bring together everyone's expertise to help each other learn.
The seminar or workshop is planned as a yearly scientific event where we hope to foster exchange with both interesting methodological inputs as well as transplantation-related trends and needs.
