SAS in Research and Teaching

SAS not only has its roots in the Academic world, but is also committed to education and research. As we want to share with you how SAS is used in teaching and research in Belgium, we kindly invite you to the Academic day on Thursday 27 April, from 9.00 till 17.00 in the Hallepoort - Porte de Hal in Brussels.

Researchers and professors from different universities will present how they use SAS in different research projects and how - and to what purpose - they teach SAS.

After the presentations, you can either follow a demonstration of SAS Enterprise Guide 4 or try it out yourself - with a script - in a hands-on session. Please indicate on your registration form what you prefer.
