The Nordic Conference on Mathematical Statistics (NORDSTAT) is
a meeting place for probabilists and statisticians from the
countries in Northern Europe. NORDSTAT also welcomes participants
from countries outside Scandinavia, in particular from our close
neighbours in the Baltic states. The official language at all
sessions of this international conference is English. The focus
is on recent research in the Nordic countries, but we are also
very happy to announce that the conference will be attended by a
few specially invited guests from overseas.
Now a detailed time schedule is availabe.
NORDSTAT 2002 is planned to have four main themes in plenar
sessions with invited speakers and discussants, and 12 partially parallel
theme sessions with contributed papers, organized by the
convenors listed below. The parallel sessions give both
established researchers and PhD students an opportunity to
present their latest work and gain new contacts.
Attendants who wants to make a contribution to a parallel
session should contact the convenor by no later than April 1,
2002, submitting a title and a short abstract.

NORDSTAT will take place at Kräftriket, which is the
location of the Maths department (including Mathematical
Statistics) of Stockholm University. Kräftriket is situated by
the lake of Brunnsviken (connected to the Baltic Sea), just
outside the inner town of Stockholm, 3 km from the central
station. In June, the weather is most often good for a stroll in
the beautiful park-like surroundings of the lake. The conference main
sessions will take place at Wallenbergsalen (sketch and
photo). Here is a
map showing the location of Wallenbergsalen and the other conference buildning.
How to get there:
- The easiest way to get to Kräftriket is by taking the
Metro's Green Line to station "Odenplan" and
then go on by bus 40 or bus 40X towards "Universitetet".
Get off at "Albano" and Kräftriket is just
across the road.
- Alternatively, take the Metro's Red Line to station
"Universitetet" and go on by bus 40 towards "Reimersholme" och
bus 40X towards "Odenplan". Get off at "Albano". Altenatively,Kräftriket is within approximately 10 minutes
walking distance from the Metro station
"Universitetet". In this
map
you find a 'T' in [D3] indicating the station where you get off. Then
walk to house 13 or 15 in [C6].
