We are pleased to announce that the R user conference
useR! 2013
is scheduled for July 10-12, 2013, and will take place at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain.
As for the predecessor conferences, the program will consist of two
parts: invited lectures and user-contributed sessions (abstract submission will be available soon). Prior to the conference, there will be tutorials on R (proposals for tutorials should be sent before December 15, 2012, see below).
CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS
María Jesús Bayarri, José Manuel Benítez-Sánchez, Havard Rue, Steve Scott and Hadley Wickham
USER-CONTRIBUTED SESSIONS
The conference will feature both talks and posters illustrating the use of R in practice. Contributions are welcome that introduce recent developments in the R Project (including CRAN packages), demonstrate applications of R in areas of current interest, or otherwise engage and inspire participants in their use of R.
PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIALS
Before the official program, half-day tutorials will be offered on Tuesday, July 9.
We invite R users to submit proposals for three hour tutorials on special topics regarding R. The proposals should give a brief description of the tutorial, including goals, detailed outline, justification of why the tutorial is important, background knowledge required and potential attendees. The proposals should be sent before December 15, 2012 to useR-2013_at_R-project.org.
