25ª International Biometric Conference

Hosted by the Brazilian (RBras) and Argentinean (RArg) region of the IBS

The International Biometric Society is an international society promoting the development and application of statistical and mathematical theory and methods in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science and public health, ecology, environmental sciences, forestry, and allied disciplines. The Society welcomes as members statisticians, mathematicians, biological scientists, and others devoted to interdisciplinary efforts in advancing the collection and interpretation of information in the biosciences. The Society is organized into geographically-defined Regions, each with at least 50 members, and smaller National Groups, each with at least 10 members. The Society is governed by an Executive Committee of General Officers and a legislative Council representing the international diversity of the membership. Regions and National Groups elect their own officers and governing boards.

The International Program Committee (IPC) of the XXVth International Biometric Conference (IBC), to be held Sunday, December 5 – Friday, December 10, 2010, at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianópolis-SC, Brazil, is calling for invited session proposals.

An invited session typically brings together a group of speakers, and possibly discussants, to present the latest research in an area of statistical theory or application, and make it accessible to a non-expert audience. We encourage topics addressing a wide variety of emerging issues in biological sciences and life sciences.

Further information is available in the “Call for Invited Session Proposals” document and proposals should be submitted by email using the “Proposal Application Form” which can be downloaded in either Word or pdf formats. available on the front page of the IBS web site, in Word and PDF format. Please submit proposals by email to the IBC 2010 IPC chair, Vicente Núñez-Antón by 25 February 2009.
