Research Seminar
Research Seminar
The Research Seminar of the Department of Econometrics and Statistics takes place every semester and provides a platform for academic exchange. As part of the seminar series, we regularly invite national and international researchers to present their current work and innovative contributions in the fields of statistics, econometrics, and related disciplines.
The seminar is aimed at researchers, doctoral students, and students with a particular interest in methodological and applied questions. Its goal is to discuss new theoretical developments, empirical applications, and interdisciplinary approaches, and to promote academic dialogue within and beyond the university.
We look forward to engaging presentations, stimulating discussions, and a lively exchange of ideas.
