Dear Friends of Statistics and Sports
We are delighted to invite you to the city of Pilsen, a beautiful city in the west of Bohemia. Owing to our colleagues from the Netherlands, who launched the tradition of volleyball tournaments of European statisticians many years ago, we can welcome 30th tournament on 7 – 9 June 2019 in the very heart of Europe.
For several tens of years the Czech children have been brought up by an extraordinary popular television fairy tale which theme song is called “Statistics is boring”. Thus statistics can be a very boring field in eyes of many since a tender age. People, however, just do not often realise through which all sorts of things statistics is beneficial to them and that they encounter statistics in their common daily life almost every day. In 2019 the Czech Statistical Office prepares, as in previous years, numerous activities, which shall bring public interest in statistics to a higher level. So the volleyball tournament may play a role of an interesting supplement to them. Because a boring statistician would never organise such a tournament, which awaits you in the Czech Republic!
We strongly believe to welcome you in the city of Pilsen in 2019 and wish you nice experiences with sports, culture, and meetings in a pleasant circle of colleague statisticians!
