Inspired by the "One World Probability Seminar", in April 2020 we decided to run the One World Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) Seminar, a fortnightly series of seminars that will take place on Blackboard Collaborate on Thursdays at 11.30am [UK time]. The idea is to gather members and disseminate results and innovation during these weeks and months under lockdown.

We will use Blackboard Collaborate, a webinar tool. Neither registration nor attendance list or download will be required. Before the talk, you will find a guest link on the mail sent via the mailing list (see below). Just click on the link and enjoy the webinar. To know how to join a session, testing your setup, reading about the Blackboard Collaborate Etiquette and know what to do in case of problems, click here.
