Assunto: ICES V - Student Contests

 Greetings,



 In announcement of the Fifth International Conference on Establishment
Surveys (ICES‑V) to be held on June 20 - 23, 2016, in Geneva, Switzerland,
we are writing to you to inform you about two student contests: a data
collection contest and an imputation/missing data treatment contest.
Details on both contests are available at
http://www.portal-stat.admin.ch/ices5/student-contests/ .



 The International Conference on Establishment Surveys (ICES) promotes
discussion about a broad range of issues related to surveys of businesses,
farms or institutions. ICES features invited and contributed papers and
demonstrations from around the globe that highlight new, improved and
upcoming establishment survey methodologies and technologies using census
data, administrative data, and sample survey data. Participants come from
academia, government statistical agencies, private business, and
statistical associations.



 The student contests will create interest and innovation in the
establishment survey field by inspiring students and the faculty they work
with to create and present to the contest committee interesting and
challenging applications that test their technical skill and creativity.
Given the winner of each contest will present their research at ICES-V, the
winner is provided with a unique and invaluable international learning
experience. The registration fee is waived for the contest winners, and the
conference will provide airfare (or other transportation costs), transport
card, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses.



 Contest participants must be a current undergraduate or graduate student
at any level or a recent graduate that has held a degree for one year or
less as of June 2016. They may work independently or with a student group.
However, travel expenses and registration will only be awarded to one
author, and the paper must be presented at the conference by one of the
student participants. Participants are expected to carry out this
assignment autonomously. Contributions from faculty advisors, if any,
should be made clear in the report.



 Please encourage your eligible students to take advantage of this
opportunity.  Participants will need to declare their intention to
participate before April 30, 2015 using the enrollment form available at
http://www.portal-stat.admin.ch/ices5/student-contests/. The final report
must be submitted by September 30, 2015.  The winners will be announced in
February 2016.



 If you have questions concerning these contests, you can contact

 The ICES-V Program Committee
