Working Group on Model-Based Clustering Summer Session: Perugia, July 16-22, 2017

The 24th Summer Working Group on Model-Based Clustering will be held in Perugia (Italy) from July 16 to July 22, 2017. It will start with an opening social event on Sunday July 16, sessions in the mornings Monday-Friday July 17-21, and a hike on Saturday July 22.

The scientific committee this year consists of Charles Bouveyron, Gilles Celeux, Brendan Murphy, Adrian Raftery and Luca Scrucca.

Venue

WG sessions will be held at the Dipartimento di Giurisprudenza (room #7) of the Università degli Studi di Perugia, and accomodation will be available close to the campus. Accommodation and travel details are given below.
