CEN2023 Conference

The 5th Conference of the Central European Network took place from
3-7 September, 2023, at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, Switzerland.

The conference theme “From Data to Knowledge. Advancing Life Sciences.” highlights the special and important role played by biometricians (statisticians and data scientists) when extracting knowledge from data with the ultimate goal of advancing life sciences. The goal of CEN2023 is to present and discuss recent developments in biometry with its applications in life sciences, medicine, pharmacology, research and development in pharmaceutical industry, environmental statistics, and genomics (see the full list of topics).


Featured sessions:

  • Best practices for Data Monitoring Committees and how to get there
  • Biometrical Journal Showcase - Editor’s Selection
  • Industry meets academia: Session in memory of Dieter Hauschke
  • Statistics in Practice: Simulation studies as a tool to evaluate and compare the properties of statistical methods – an overview
  • Young Statisticians Sessions and Panel Discussion

Satellite symposium:

  • Ten years of the STRengthening Analytical Thinking for Observational Studies (STRATOS) initiative – progress and looking to the future


CEN2023 is a joint conference of

of the International Biometric Society (IBS) and supported by the Basel Biometric society (BBS)

This year, we offer the possibility for ‘tandem talks’ regarding biostatistics for joint presentations at CEN2023 and the GMDS 2023 conference in Heilbronn.
