This unique conference aims to introduce a career in pharmaceutical industry to students studying in quantitative fields, especially statistics and data sciences. This two-day conference will connect you to the world of clinical statistics, and show you how statistics contributes to different phases and aspects of drug development and to improve patients' lives. The SIP2021 conference is sponsored by Amgen, Biogen, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Servier, Takeda and Vertex.

During the conference, you will hear from experienced clinicians and statisticians sharing their "why", discussing important clinical questions and challenges, and how statistics provides solutions to some of those. You will also learn about different and diverse opportunities which this industry has to offer and hear from professionals about their "typical day" and what can get you there. There will be plenty of self-development opportunities along with networking opportunities with peers as well as experienced professionals.
