1. 1st Italian Astrostatistics School, INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Milano, 12 to 16 June 2017
2. Alsacian Workshop on X-ray polarimetry
1. 1st Italian Astrostatistics School, INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Milano, 12 to 16 June 2017
The primary goal of the school is to train astronomers to the use of modern statistical techniques, specifically parameter estimation and model selection. The INTENSIVE course, lectured by Stefano Andreon and Roberto Trotta, is characterized by extended laboratory sessions (i.e. individual work at the computer), taking about two third of the school attendance. The capacity is limited to 35 participants (first come first served basis). The school is open to PhD students in astronomy, who have priority (they should register by May 15th), and if space allows, to post-doc and researchers. From May 15th, registration is open to all (subject to availability). Attendance to the course has pre-requirements. For school program, details, and registration see : http://iaa.mi.oa-brera.inaf.it/IAA/AstroStatisticsSchool.html

2. Alsacian Workshop on X-ray polarimetry
We are pleased to announce that registration for the Alsacian Workshop on X-ray polarimetry is now open. The conference will be held from 13-15th November 2017 at Strasbourg, France. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the progress made in X-ray polarimetry, to identify what is missing and to decide what must be undertaken before the launch of IXPE, the first spatial mission carrying an X-ray polarimeter since the 70’s. We invite young researchers (PhD students and post-docs), and expert speakers to register to this workshop, aiming to exchange results and methods while facilitating new collaborations that will be perfectly mature on the arrival of the first X-ray polarimetry data. More details are available at : http://awoxpol.u-strasbg.fr/
