With the help of Dr. Tamas Nagy (Assistant Professor at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest), participants learned how to understand and implement different types of regression analysis, including linear and non-linear, zero-inflated, and survival models. Even though at first sight, R code might have been scary looking for some, Tamas managed to communicate the topics in an approachable and humorous way. Nineteen students from Hungary and twenty-three students from Austria came together, not only to learn, but also to connect with each other – for some PhD students this was the first chance to do so, having started their PhD journey during the Covid-19 pandemic. This made the Summer School a success not only from a learning perspective, but also from an interpersonal point of view.
Some selected quotes from participants:
“Was a very nice experience and definitely a highlight in my PhD so far”
“Thank you so much for advancing my knowledge in R, I needed this!”
