History of the RSC

(Based on Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia originally draws upon the contribution of RSC 2008 team.)

The Research Students Conference in Probability and Statistics is an annual event aiming to provide postgraduate statisticians and probabilists with an appropriate forum to present their research. As usual, this four day event is organised by postgraduates, for postgraduates, providing an excellent opportunity to make contact and discuss work with other students who have similar interests. For many students it is their first experience of presenting their work.
