Title: Invited talk during the “info day” for the Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions.
​
This was a very interesting scientific event, organised by The Centre for Research and Technology, Hellas (CERTH) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH). The venue was Amphitheatre I of AUTH, Research Committee Building and the event took place on May 30, 2017.
The program included a talk about the “Presentation of “MSCA Individual Fellowships” 2017 Call“, a talk regarding “Proposal Preparation and Writing” and my talk regarding my experience so far as an MSC fellow. It was thrilling to return in such an event as a speaker, since it was an event like this 5 years ago that introduced me to the world of MSCA. I strongly believe that events like this are very encouraging for young researchers and that they should definitely be organized at a regular basis to motivate more researchers to embrace MSC actions.
I would like to thank very much the organizers for inviting me.

​
The 9th EMR-IBS and Italian Region conference was held in the MET Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece. The conference took place on May, 8-12, 2017.
This is an international conference which brings together researchers from all over Europe, but especially from the Eastern Mediterranean Region, Italy and Spain, working on different fields of Statistics applied in the general field of life and science, such as but not limited to Longitudinal Data Analysis, Clustering and Classification, Data Mining, Health Insurance, Time Series Analysis, Epidemiological Methods, Diagnostic and Screening Tests, Genomics, Proteomics and Microarray Data, Health Economics and Survival Analysis.
This was my first participation in an EMR-IBS conference and overall, it was a very prolific research experience. Among else, it provided many opportunities, both for scientific dissemination (poster sessions and oral presentations) and research networking. Within the framework of CLLassify, an oral presentation was given with title “Refining prognostication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients”, related to the first Work Package of CLLassify.
The Program included a variety of scientific subjects and the opportunity was there for everyone to enlighten his/her scientific views and update his/her knowledge. Overall, this was as a great experience.
