Long night of science 2026
Long Night of Sciences 2026 at the Chair of Applied Statistics
On June 26, 2026, the Chair of Applied Statistics participated again in the 23rd Dresden Long Night of Sciences. The event offered visitors a diverse program featuring cutting-edge research, interactive experiments, and freshly made Belgian waffles that proved immensely popular throughout the evening.
Research Made Accessible: Lectures and Presentations
The academic program began with Prof. Dr. Ostap Okhrin's lecture "Nobel Prize in Economics 2025: Explained Simply" where he clearly presented the laureates' groundbreaking work and its significance for economic sciences.
Dr. Martin Treiber then demonstrated his traffic simulator in the presentation "The Way Out of Traffic Jams - Can Traffic Scientists Help?" Attendees learned about traffic formation mechanisms and received practical tips for avoiding congestion in daily commuting.
The centerpiece of the event was an impressive exhibition, where our team members showcased a series of awe-inspiring experiments related to statistics, robotics cars based on reinforcement learning, and traffic simulation (traffic-simulation.de)
The event served as a great platform for fostering a passion for science and inspiring the next generation of innovators.
