The University of Padua
The University of Padua was founded in 1222, after a period when a number
of professors and students left the University of Bologna.
By 1399 there were in effect two universities: the Universitas Iuristarum,
for the study of Civil Law, Canon Law and Theology; and the Universitas
Artistarum, for the study of Medicine, Philosophy, Grammar, Dialectics,
Rhetoric and Astronomy. The two would not be fully re-united until 1813.
Student life within the early university was organized in nationes, which
reflected divisions according to geographical or ethnic origin; the various
nationes themselves forming two larger groups: the Citramontani (that is,
Italian) and the Ultramontani (that is, those from beyond the Alps).
The 15th century would see the beginning of more than three hundred
years of growth in prestige as the University of Padua benefited from the
protection of the Venetian Republic. During this period Padua made its
great contribution to the nascent scientific revolution, with developments in
philosophical thought, in the study of medicine and anatomy and the great
discoveries in astronomy, physics and mathematics that are linked with the
18-year period in which Galileo Galilei taught at the university (from 1592
to 1610). One particularly proud moment in the history of the university
came in 1678 (June 25), when Elena Cornaro Piscopia gained her degree
in Philosophy, becoming the first woman graduate in the world. A school of
Statistics was founded in Padua in 1927. Corrado Gini, one of the most
important Italian statisticians and first president of the National Institute of
Statistics, taught here.

The conference fee for participants, young researchers and PhD students
includes: bag with participant’s kit, badge, welcome buffet, coffee breaks,
lunches.

Organization
Submission guidelines
The 7th Conference on Statistical Computation and Complex Systems will
be organized with the support of the Department of Statistical Sciences of
the University of Padua.
Papers must be written in English following the Conference style format (see
the web site).
The conference is organized in collaboration with the Department of Economics, Ca’ Foscari
Papers must be sent exclusively using the automatic system available in the
deadlines & submission page of the web site.
In recognition of the struggle against the Nazi occupation of 1943–45, the
university would later receive the Gold Medal for Valour, the only university
in Italy to gain such an award.
Accepted papers can be exposed in an oral or poster presentation.
After the Second World War, the university has increased its contributions
to the development of international scientific institutions. In recent years, it
has also been able to meet the problems posed by overcrowded facilities by
re-deploying over the Veneto region as a whole.
For further details concerning submission, please see the relevant page on
the Conference web site.
Posters must be written in English following the style format defined by the
Organizing Committee.
