Last week, young researchers of many nationalities came to Leiden for the Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers conference, and were surprised with a tour of Escher's art at the Leiden town hall by none other than Henri Lenferink, mayor of Leiden!

Due to an overwhelming number of submitted abstracts, we are expecting the conference to sell out quickly.

An overwhelming number of abstracts was submitted for the conference. The large number of high quality abstracts made the selection procedure extremely difficult. Everyone who submitted an abstract has now been informed about the Oganising Committee's decision.

Subscribers to the SAfJR2018 mailing list will receive further announcements and reminders about the conference. So please subscribe to avoid missing any information!

This is a reminder that the abstract submission deadline (December 10th) is approaching for the seventh annual Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers conference!

We highly encourage potential delegates to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation. Abstracts submission closes on December 10th.

From today on you can submit your abstract the SAfJR2018 conference. All abstracts should be submitted by December 10th, 2017.

Leiden University is proud to host the seventh annual Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers conference. It is a three-day event that is aimed at career-young statisticians with an interest in the application and development of time-to-event analysis and related topics. The conference provides a unique opportunity for participants to present and discuss their work with peers at a similar stage in their careers in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Abstracts for this conference can be submitted from September 1st onwards, until December 10th, 2017. Registration will open after the decisions on the abstracts have been announced (January 2018).

We are proud to announce that Leiden will host the next annual Survival Analysis for Junior Researchers conference, SAfJR2018. During a successful SAfJR2017, the three delegates from Leiden University proposed to organise the next edition and invited everyone to the Netherlands. SAfJR2018 will be in Leiden, on 24-26 April 2018. More information on the conference will be announced in due time.
