Dear colleagues,

San Pablo - CEU University in collaboration with other five
universities (Málaga,
Politécnica de Madrid, País Vasco, Complutense, and Castilla La
Mancha), SPSS, CSIC and IEEE
organizes a summerschool on "Advanced Data Analysis and Modeling" in
Madrid between July
9th and July 27th. The summerschool comprises 12 courses divided in 3
modules.
Attendees may register in each course independently. Registration will
be considered upon
strict arrival order.For more information, please, visit
