The ICB Seminars "Statistics and Clinical Practice" held in Warsaw since 1994, have become a tradition as a meeting place for statisticians from West and East, dealing with problems related to medicine. Both scientific and didactic goals form a part of the Conference framework. The Seminar provides an opportunity for professional discussions among biostatisticians, while medical doctors are offered an opportunity to discuss statistical problems with leading experts in the field.

 

The following topics will be addressed during the Seminar:
