Since 2006 the Department of Economics of the University of Crete is
successfully running its Advanced Summer School in Economics and
Econometrics – ASSEE. From 2015 and on the summer course is co-organized
with the Department of Agricultural Economics of the Aristotle
University of Thessaloniki.

ASSEE is one of the few summer courses in the world combining high
quality morning lectures with extensive computer practicals in the
afternoon. World leading scholars teach every year a different topic in
economics and/or econometrics. The target audience includes PhD students
in early or later stages in their studies, early career researchers and
academics, as well as practitioners from both the public and private
sectors.

The topic of the 16th Advanced Summer School in Economics and
Econometrics is “Bayesian Networks in Policy and Society” and its
objective is to introduce attendees to recent developments of Bayesian
Networks using the statistical language R. The instructor is Dr. Marco
Scutari, Senior Researcher in Bayesian Networks and Graphical Models,
Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull’Intelligenza Artificiale (IDSIA),
Polo Universitario Lugano, Switzerland.
