[SIPTA] Bayes@Lund 2019 - Invitation and Call for Presentations
by TROFFAES Feb. 11, 2019

Feb. 11, 2019

*Please disseminate where appropriate.* Bayes(a)Lund 2019 – a Mini-conference on Bayesian Methods at Lund University, 7th of May, 2019 You are welcome to participate in the sixth edition of Bayes(a)Lund! The purpose of this conference is to bring together researchers and professionals working with or interested in Bayesian methods. Bayes(a)Lund aims at being accessible to researchers with little experience of Bayesian methods while still being relevant to experienced practitioners. The focus is on how Bayesian methods are used in research and in the industry, what advantages Bayesian methods have over classical alternatives, and how the use and teaching of Bayesian methods can be encouraged. (see last year's conference<https://bayesat.github.io/lund2018/bayes_at_lund_2018.html> for what to expect). The conference will take place at Lund University, Sweden on the 7th of May 2019 starting at 9.00 and ending at 17.00. It will include contributed talks and invited presentations. This year we are more than pleased to have Sharon Bertsch McGrayne as an invited speaker. She is the author of the The Theory That Would Not Die<http://www.mcgrayne.com/the_theory_that_would_not_die__how_bayes__rule_crac…>, the bestselling book that describes the rise and fall and rise again of Bayesian statistics. For more information and how register, please see the conference web site<https://indico.esss.lu.se/event/1191/>. Call for Presentations We invite you to submit a talk or short tutorial to Bayes(a)Lund 2019 on a topic related to Bayesian methods in research as well as in a non-academic context, including, but not restricted to: · Case studies. Have you used Bayesian methods in your work? Describe what you did, and how it worked out. · Method development. Are you developing novel Bayesian methods or software that you want to share? · Teaching Bayes. Do you have experiences teaching or introducing Bayesian methods? What were the challenges, and do you have any useful tips? Each accepted speaker is given 20 minutes and, as the audience will be highly heterogeneous from different disciplines and from within and outside academia, the talk is expected to be accessible and engaging for a multidisciplinary audience. Alternatively, short tutorials are 10/20/30 minutes long tutorials where you introduce the audience to a tool, package or methodology you find useful. It doesn’t need to be something you’ve developed, just something you want to show the audience! For more information on how to submit a talk proposal please see here<https://indico.esss.lu.se/event/1191/abstracts/>. We hope to see you there! All best, The committee Ullrika Sahlin, Rasmus Bååth, Alex Holmes, and Jakob Lavröd
