Young Statisticians Session by the Young Statisticians Group
Every year, during the Journées de Statistique (JdS), the SFdS Young Statisticians Group organizes a specific session dedicated to young researchers, called the "Young Statisticians Session." This session aims to create a space for discussion and reflection on current issues affecting the community of young statisticians. It is designed to foster exchanges between young researchers and the broader scientific community while highlighting relevant themes related to their concerns and the challenges in statistical research.
The topics addressed are often cross-cutting and aim to tackle social, ethical, professional, or scientific issues encountered by young researchers in their academic journey. The sessions are led by speakers recognized in their respective fields, allowing for experience sharing and constructive discussion.
