announce GEOMED 2017 – “Deeper insight from big data and small
areas”. GEOMED
2017 is the X international interdisciplinary conference on
spatial
statistics, geographical epidemiology and geographical aspects
of public health.
This conference will be held in Porto, Portugal, from 7 to 9
September 2017 and
aims to bring together statisticians, geographers,
epidemiologists, computer
scientists and public health professionals to discuss spatial
and
spatio-temporal methods in health studies.</span><span
