After more than a decade of international cooperation between the University of Hawassa in Ethiopia and NTNU and the University of Oslo in Norway, and in occasion of the conclusion of the NORAD (Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation) funded joint programme in training and education in mathematical and statistical modelling, we are please to invite you to the international HAWASSA STAT & MATH CONFERENCE.

 

For full information, registration, and abstract submission see: http://www.hu.edu.et/mathstatconf/ 

 

Contributed talks and posters are welcomed. 

 

Invited speakers will include: 

 

Sylvia Richardson, Cambridge 

Laura Palagi, Rome 

Peter Diggle, Lancaster 

 

About half of the programme is dedicated to statistics, and the other half to operation research and applied mathematics. 

 

Hawassa city, located in the African Rift Valley on the shores of Lake Hawassa, offers a unique atmosphere. A thriving city - its identity not lost to metropole conformity - exposes the strengths, opportunities, charms and challenges of Africa - in a safe setting under the gentle Ethiopian sun. 

 

There are multiple grants for African participants, more information on the web-page.
