Themes of the conference

The conference will focus on three themes of time-to-event analyses, all of which concentrate on population-based data and translational epidemiology:
Recent methodological developments in competing risks and net survival
Hierarchical and correlated data in survival and longitudinal analysis
Causal inference in longitudinal settings with time-dependent confounding
The conference will include world-renowned invited speakers as well as oral and poster communications. At the end of the conference, a panel will summarise the methods presented and the discussions highlighted during the three days and will look to the future in methodological developments regarding advanced time-to-event analyses of population-based data.

Aims and objectives

• To bring together international speakers, experts in their field, to present the state-of-the-art methods relating to each of the conference themes
• To provide a forum for researchers interested in time-to-event analyses to meet informally and learn about advanced methods in the framework of time-to-event analyses on population-based data
• To offer opportunities for networking to foster future research opportunities and collaborations
