About

The Second Workshop of the Italian Statistical Society group SISBayes will be held at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova on the 4th-5th of September 2025.

The workshop serves as a platform to bring together experts and emerging researchers interested in Bayesian methods, fostering the exchange of ideas and advancements in both theoretical and applied Bayesian methods.

Venue

The Department of Statistical Sciences is located in Via Cesare Battisti, 241 in Padua,

and it is housed in the seventeenth-century Complex of Santa Caterina.

How to reach the venue

From Venice Airport “Marco Polo”

Right outside the airport, you can catch a bus that will take you to the train and bus station of Padua in Piazzale Stazione.

From the train (and bus) station

Santa Caterina Campus is within walking distance from the train and bus station of Padua. Alternatively, you can use the public transport; from the train station, you might want to take Tram line towards Capolinea Sud. Get off at the stop Riviera Ponti Romani, cross the street, take Via Cesare Battisti and continue until you see the numbers 241/243 (on your left).

From the highway

We recommend taking the exit Padova Ovest, parking at the P1 (ex-Canova) car park located in Via Sarpi, and taking the tram from the train station. For other possibilities, please visit the car parking information page of the City of Padua.
