Presentation

The Master in Statistics and Operations Research UPC-UB has organized this 7th day MAFME in order to offer their students projects Final Master (TFM) to be held in Companies of our environment. These TFM is the application of statistics and / or operations research to real projects of these institutions / companies. There is also interest in the Mesi UPC-UB students may come into direct contact with these companies and institutions that need trained professionals in the field of Statistics and Operations Research.

The conference has in this seventh edition with the participation of six companies / institutions 18 proposed projects. During the event, each company / institution exposes a poster and a brief five minute presentation of their project.
