| Upcoming courses |
 |
| COVID-19 update |
Registration is open for the courses below. They will probably be re-organized in such a way that the courses can be held online. However, there is a chance that they will be postponed.
|
|
|
| Linear models, 9-11 June 2020 |
| In this module we continue with Regression, ANOVA, and ANCOVA, set in the general framework of Linear Models. |
|
|
| Generalized Linear Models, 15-16 June 2020 |
| Study how to analyse data that are not normally distributed. Look at fractions (logistic regression), counts (Poisson regression, log-linear models), ordinal data (threshold models), and overdispersion. |
|
|
| Mixed Linear Models, 22-23 June 2020 |
| Study how to analyse dependent data, that is, data for which the assumption of independence needed in Linear Models is violated. |
|
|
| Introduction to Data Science with R and R Studio 24-26 June 2020 |
| Participants will be introduced to R language syntax, enabling them to write their own R code. |
|
|
| Meta-analysis, 1-2 July 2020 |
| Learn concepts of linear models and mixed linear models in meta-analysis, using R. |

| Upcoming Events |
|
| COVID-19 update |
Events are being re-organized to digital editions.
|
|
|
| Pyrolife symposium: Towards an Integrated Fire Management |
| The goal of this symposium is to create new international links across scientific fields and disciplines, in order to get a better view on what Integrated Fire Management across Europe should look like. While this symposium is the scientific start of the Pyrolife ITN training network, researchers and interested parties from other institutes are warmly invited to join this meeting, so allow for more connections to be made. |
|
|
| Conference Environmental Technology for Impact, 3-5 June 2020 |
| The department of Environmental Technology (ETE) of Wageningen University, which PhD candidates participate in the SENSE network, will host the ETE for impact conference to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the department. |
|
|
| International SDG Research Symposium, 10-11 June 2020 |
| The Symposium brings together a broad group of leading social scientists from universities and prominent think tanks for a first stocktaking of what we know about the actual impact of ‘governance through goals’. |
|
|
| Water Innovation Europe, 22-26 June 2020 |
| Water Europe will host the digital Innovative Water Week with online plenary sessions, working group meetings, and digital networking and exhibition opportunities. |
|
|
| Nature-based Solutions in a Changing Climate |
| Main conference is postponed, but this virtual event will discuss key issues around Nature-based Solutions. The conclusions will be used for the UN summits on biodiversity and climate change later this year. |
