We announce an initiative coordinated by the board of the Young Statisticians Section of the French Statistical Society:

the Young Statisticians Europe (YSE) group

This initiative is supported by the EC who decided to provide space for YSE in the FENStatS web page.

• What are the goals of YSE?

To support the creation of national communities, networks and societies for young statisticians.
To provide a platform for networking and exchange between national young statisticians associations To promote joint research and academic collaboration on an international level To organize regional activities and events for young statisticians To connect statisticians across different subject areas and career paths
 

• Who are welcome in YSE?

We include everyone that considers themselves to be "young statisticians" so for example, master's students, PhD students, postdocs and people in the
early stages of their careers from academics or industry in the field of statistics.

• What have we done so far?:

We have created an email address to contact us:
youngstatisticianseurope@gmail.com<mailto:youngstatisticianseurope@gmail.com

and a google drive to share documents.

We have created a facebook group where every young statistician is welcomed:
