Invitation

 

6th CEN Conference
POWER OF DATA – Shaping the Future of Life Sciences

We cordially invite you to participate in the next edition of the Central European Network Conference – CEN2026, which will take place in the modern ADN Conference Centre in Warsaw on May 18-21, 2026.

CEN2026 is a joint meeting of the Austro-Swiss Region (ROeS), the German Region (DR), and the Polish Region of the International Biometric Society (IBS).

This year’s theme — “Power of Data — Shaping the Future of Life Sciences” — highlights the growing importance of data in transforming and advancing the life sciences. As access to vast amounts of information becomes increasingly common, the ability to interpret and apply it effectively is essential for informed decision-making that influences human health, quality of life, and the environment.

The CEN2026 conference will provide a unique platform to present the latest achievements in biometrics and its applications in the life sciences, including biostatistics, bioinformatics, medicine, pharmacology, pharmaceutical research and development, environmental statistics, genomics, machine learning, and digital medical technologies. We will focus on how data shapes clinical practice, drug development, environmental risk assessment, and population health strategies.

The event will be devoted to the methodological aspects and the practical implementation of statistical methods in the life sciences. An essential objective of the conference is to promote innovative solutions that improve the practical usefulness of scientific research.

The ADN Conference Centre is a modern facility in the heart of Warsaw, in a perfect location. In addition to the scientific programme, accompanying events to promote networking and the exchange of experiences in a less formal atmosphere are planned.

Don’t miss this opportunity to share knowledge, network, and shape the future of science together.

 

See you in Warsaw!
