BIOSTATNET - National Biostatistics Network
The general objectives of the National Network of Biostatistics are:
- Promote biostatistical research in Spain and facilitate the collaboration among the nodes of the network
- Propose effective forms of organisation to create sinergies between national biostatisticians
- Increase the interaction between groups to allow joint proposals with research groups from other countries
- Create new links with researchers from Portugal and Latin America
- Promote the professional development of those who are still in a learning stage
- Find a common framework for the integral professional development of future biostatisticians
- Increase the relevance of the biostatistical groups
- Propose the creation of consulting teams for the assessment of biostatistical topics
- Coordinate actions with the Spanish Society of Biometry
- Promote biostatistics in secondary education, in companies – mainly pharmaceuticals-, public sector organisations and universities.
