Conference venue
The International Conference
on Robust Statistics takes place in the
Mattilanniemi Campus of the University of Jyväskylä, in buildings MaA and MaD
(see maps
and
citymap.pdf).
Jyväskylä
"A small city with a big feel" accurately describes
Jyväskylä, located in the
lake district of Finland some 270 kilometres north of Helsinki. It has the
advantages of a small town being comfortable, compact and safe; and at the
same time, it is a bustling modern centre of industry and learning. Out of the
143,000 inhabitants in the urban area almost one fifth are students. The
buildings designed by world-famous architect,
Alvar Aalto, give their own
flavour to the cityscape. Surrounded by lakes, ridges and forests, Jyväskylä
is a place of great natural beauty.
