FLAMES annual meeting 2023 @ UHasselt :

Let citizens strengthen your research

The Flames Annual Meeting is an annual one-day symposium targeting hot topics of relevance to society and the place of statistics and methodology therein, at which prominent speakers will share their insights. This year, the FAM is hosted by UHasselt and will take place on Friday the 28th of April, 2023. The topic of this hybrid symposium will be citizen science. Involving citizens in your research gives you new data, knowledge and perspectives. Next to that people become more aware of the research you are doing. However there are also some challenges which we will tackle in our keynote lectures, like dealing with ethnic differences, sharing and storing your data, dealing with incorrect data,... Next to that we invite young researchers to share their work and experiences when you involve citizens in your research.

The Flames Annual meeting will take place at Campus Hasselt of UHasselt. The FLAMES annual meeting will be a hybrid event: you can choose to join on-campus or online. If you have any questions regarding this year's annual meeting, feel free to contact us via flames@uhasselt.be.
