Combined Dutch & German meeting: Original announcement
The second meeting of the Dutch Stata users will be held at Maastricht
University on Thursday, May 23, 2002. It will be held in the Auditorium
(Aula), Tongersestraat 53, Maastricht, The Netherlands from 10.30-17.30.
See
http://www.unimaas.nl/index_uk.htm?index_uk.htm for information
about the university and see
http://www.personeel.unimaas.nl/R.Walczuch/route.htm for directions on
finding the Tongersestraat location.
This meeting will actually be a Dutch/German/Belgian meeting.
The backers of the meeting are Smit Consult,
http://www.smitconsult.nl
and DPC, http://www.dpc.de, the distributors
of Stata in the Netherlands and Germany respectively. We are expecting
participants and speakers from Holland, Belgium, and Germany. But everybody,
from anywhere, interested in using Stata is welcome to attend.
The academic content is being organized by Wim van Putten (putten@stah.azr.nl)
and Alexander Volovics (awol@home.nl). The meeting will consist of the
presentation of papers with room for discussion. Presentations must focus on
user-written Stata programs, case studies of research or teaching, using Stata
and surveys, or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields.
We already have some interesting speakers but there is still room for a few
presentations, especially for shorter presentations of about 10 minutes in
length. You can send offers of papers to Alexander Volovics
(awol@home.nl) or Wim van Putten
(putten@stah.azr.nl). Papers must be
presented in English on account of the 'international' nature of the meeting
and the participation of guest speakers from Stata and England.
We are delighted that William Gould (President, StataCorp) and Roberto
Gutierrez (Director of Statistics, StataCorp) will be able to come and give a
talk. We are also delighted to have as guest speakers Sophia Rabe-Hesketh,
Patrick Royston, and Nick Cox, well known to Stata users for their excellent
contributions to the STB and SJ.
Participation at this meeting, coffee and tea included, is free of charge.
Lunch, however, is not free of charge. We do urge you to enroll as quickly as
possible so that we have some idea of the number of people coming. People
interested in giving a presentation are also urged to contact Wim van Putten
or Alexander Volovics as soon as possible.
When we can put together a definite program with a list of speakers it will be
posted on the Stata website and mailed to
the Stata users.
