UPCOMING DES SUMMER MEETING AND GENERAL ASSEMBLY
We would like to remind you to register for the DES Summer Meeting, taking place on 23-24 June 2026 in Copenhagen.
The programme includes:
• The annual one-day Summer Meeting and General Assembly (23 June)
• A full-day workshop for DES members (24 June)
Registration is still open. The deadline is 14 June, with early-bird registration available until 10 May. The programme and registration details are available on the DES website: https://www.dansk-epidemiologisk-selskab.dk/
As part of the programme, this year’s workshop will focus on Bayesian approaches to statistical inference. Bayesian methods provide a framework for combining prior knowledge with new data to update our understanding.
Bayesian statistics is like everyday life: You start with what you believe, you gather experience, and you update your beliefs accordingly.
Why not apply the same approach in your professional life?
Using Bayesian methods, you can incorporate existing knowledge. It can be used to tell the probability that something is true—not just whether it's significant or not—and conclusions can be updated when your data comes in.
Bayesian statistics isn't just math; it's a way of reasoning about uncertainty that might be more aligned with how we actually want to interpret our findings.
The meeting is targeted epidemiologists who are curious about the concepts. No prerequisites or prior knowledge about Bayesian methods are required.
