As a (former) member of the Statistical Modelling Society, you might be interested in being reminded of an approaching deadline for submission of abstracts for the 32nd International Workshop on Statistical Modelling which takes place from July 3-7, 2017 in Groningen (the Netherlands). Registration and abstract submission for the 32nd IWSM is now open at http://iwsm2017.webhosting.rug.nl The webpage provides also all other necessary information. As in previous years, the workshop will bring together a wide variety of international researchers, coming from all over the world and featuring different levels of experience, to encourage discussion and interchange between junior and senior scientists. As usual, the workshop will be preceded by the short course, this year on "Statistical Models for Social Network Dynamics" by Tom A. B. Snijders on July 2, 2017. The deadline for abstract submission is January 31, 2017. The deadline for early registration is April 30, 2017. Further, a brief information on how to renew your membership to the Society for 2017 in case you wish to become a member again. If you plan to attend the IWSM in Groningen, you simply renew your membership by registering at the conference. In case you cannot make it this year for IWSM but still want to become a member of the Society (while receiving the 2017 issues of the Statistical Modelling journal and enjoying all other benefits ;-)), please, visit the link http://www.statmod.org/join.htm where you can easily extend your membership for 2017.
