Last Friday, February 23rd, the IV PhDay-EIO was held at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Universidade da Coruña, bringing together students from the Doctoral Program in Statistics and Operations Research from the three Galician universities.

The quality and communicative ability of the student were valued, and he received the recognition from Dr. Javier Tarrío Saavedra, Vice President of Statistics of #SGaPEIO, and the Organizing Committee of the UDC.

In addition to space for research, there was also time to share knowledge, fun, and uncertainties associated with this stage, with the participation of Dr. Rebeca Peláez Suárez from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid; Dr. Brais González Rodríguez from Universidade de Santiago de Compostela; Dr. Pablo Montero Manso from the University of Sydney; and Dr. David Martínez Rego, co-founder of DataSpartan.
