NIHR Statistics Group Conference 2022
NIHR Statistics Group Annual Conference 2022
Data science and statistics with health and social care
Location: The Edge Sheffield (and online) | Date: 23rd to 24th June 2022
The NIHR Statistics Group aims to bring together statisticians, clinicians and scientists to develop and promote best methodological practice in research in health and social care. The conference is open to new and existing members and welcomes them to be involved in the formation of future activities, and provide networking opportunities to share and promote best practice. It is an ideal forum for statisticians who work in isolation.
Who is the conference aimed at?
Statisticians who are associated with NIHR research. This includes researchers/trainees partly- or fully-funded by an NIHR grant, those involved in an NIHR infrastructure. Non-statisticians who are interested in statistics are also very welcome to attend. We are planning for an in-person conference with flexibility for both in-person and online attendance.
