18-11-2026 5:00 pm Add to iCal
Are you a physician or researcher at KI/K seeking to enhance your understanding of applied statistics? Welcome to CRASHSTAT, an online course in essential statistics for medical and biological research.
The Center for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics is pleased to introduce CRASHSTAT, a comprehensive introduction / refresher online course, structured as 2-hour lectures one day per week during a coherent period, starting October 7, 2026.
Each lecture addresses critical themes in statistics applied to medicine and biology. Designed to reinforce and expand your statistical knowledge, this series of lectures is aimed at those looking to bridge theoretical gaps and gain proficiency in understanding statistical methods and interpreting analysis results.
No previous knowledge in statistics is needed, but researchers with some basic experience will benefit most. Lectures will follow a track, but participants can join individual lectures standalone.
There will mostly be a focus on theoretical aspects, with examples in the medical practice/research, i.e, no programming will be conducted. However, the lecturers will provide some very general instructions on what to do with the main statistical programs (R, Stata, SPSS). In summary, no programming expertise or software needed for the course.
