Dear FENStatS Members,
It is a pleasure to announce the birth of our first FENStatS Newsletter to present news and interesting events of our National Societies!
Within this first issue, I am delighted to highlight three significant events: A forthcoming Webinar on ethical principles, the opportunity for young statisticians to apply for a European Junior Accreditation (I strongly encourage our young members to seize this opportunity for professional development), and the 3rd ERC Webinar. Securing more ERC grants for statisticians in Europe is crucial, and I encourage members to actively participate in this event and consider applying for ERC grants.
With warm regards to all members of our societies,
Lola Ugarte
FENStatS President
