Short Course Proposal

Submission Deadline: December 15, 2019

ISCA 2020 Applied Statistics Symposium is now inviting short course proposals in support of the annual symposium. The short courses will be offered as part of the pre-symposium program and held on Sunday, May 17, 2020.

Each proposal should be appropriate for either a half-day (four hours) or one-day (seven hours) presentation.
A half-day course runs either in the morning from 8:30am to 12:30pm or in the afternoon from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. An one-day course runs from 8:30am to 12:30pm and from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.

For a fulfilled short course, ICSA Symposium will offer honorarium and waive registration fee and banquet fee. The honorarium is $1000 for a half-day course and $1500 for an one-day course. The honorarium is shared by all instructors of a single short course.

The short course committee reserves rights to cancel pre-selected short courses due to low registration.
