[R] Conference: useR! 2013, 10-12 July 2013, Albacete, Spain

[Virgilio Gómez-Rubio]

We are pleased to announce that the R user conference

   useR! 2013

is scheduled for July 10-12, 2013, and will take place at the
University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain.

As for the predecessor conferences, the program will consist of two
parts: invited lectures and user-contributed sessions (abstract
submission will be available online later this year). Prior to the
conference, there will be tutorials on R.

CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS

María Jesús Bayarri, José Manuel Benítez-Sánchez, Håvard Rue, Steve
Scott and Hadley  Wickham

USER-CONTRIBUTED SESSIONS

The conference will feature both talks and posters illustrating the use
of R in practice. Contributions are welcome that introduce recent
developments in the R Project (including CRAN packages), demonstrate
applications of R in areas of current interest, or otherwise engage and
inspire participants in their use of R.

PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIALS

Before the official program, half-day tutorials will be offered on
Tuesday, July 9.

We invite R users to submit proposals for three hour tutorials on
special topics regarding R. The proposals should give a brief
description of the tutorial, including goals, detailed outline,
justification of why the tutorial is important, background knowledge
required and potential attendees.
