Welcome! Welcome to the website for the Australasian Region of The
International Biometric Society. Our society comprises members of The
International Biometric Society that predominantly reside in Australia
and New Zealand. Currently, membership numbers are about 200. Professionally, we are statisticians, biometricians,
mathematicians, scientists and managers, from academia, consulting or
research and development, with biological applications being the common link.
Biological applications include medicine, public health, ecology,
environmental science, agriculture, genetics, microbiology and toxicology,
amongst others. Our employers range from local and commonwealth government agencies
where there may be a team of biometricians employed, to private institutions
which may only employ one biometrician. We offer students scholarships and
financial support to attend conferences on a regular basis. See our Prizes/Awards page. Our main activity is our regional biennial conference. The Regional Conference 2011 in Kiama, New South Wales, Australia has been held. A special thanks to all who made this conference happen in particular the local organising and scientific programme committees. A sincere thanks to all of you who attended in presenting and participating to make it a happy, successful and rewarding conference. We also gratefully acknowledge all of the sponsors who contributed to the conference and the staff of the Sebel Harbourside Hotel in Kiama for looking after us at the conference. On behalf of the regional council, I would like to extend the season's greetings to all of our members and we look forward to the New Year with hope and prosperity for all. Mario, The President. |
