Dear NOSOVE-members and others who might be interested.
The next NOSOVE-meeting and course will be held in Copenhagen January 14-17, 2013.
It will contain an introduction to the software R and advanced methods for prevalence estimation using R combined with a workshop on current and future basic and post-graduate epi-education in the Nordic countries. It is possible to sign up just for parts of the programme.
There are only few seats left, so if you want to join now is the time to sign up.
