The Finnish Society of Biostatistics

The Finnish Society of Biostatistics aims to encourage discussion and change of information between statisticians and researchers from the biological and medical fields. For this purpose, the society organises occasions for educational training, presentations and discussions, and contributes in other ways to advance the members' professional skills.

The society was founded in 1987 and has currently around 200 members working in the universities, pharmaceutical industry, research institutes and other corporations. The society co-operates with other statistical and related scientific associations to promote statistical thinking in biological and medical research.
