+
+The first two days include a basic course on Bayesian learning (12 hours), with conceptual sessions in the morning and practical sessions with basic Bayesian packages in the afternoon. 
+This is a summary of the contents of both days.
+
+We use the R package [`vibass`](http://vabar.es/vibass/) which contains the practical activities and a few interactive apps.
+Please make sure that you bring a recent R version, with recently updated packages.
+Follow the instructions on the package website for installing it, ideally prior to the workshop, to make the most of our time together.
+
+## Monday
+
+### Session I: __All you need is... probability__
+
+Frequentist and Bayesian probability. Bayes’ theorem for random events and variables,
+parameters, hypothesis, etc. Sequential updating. Predictive probabilities.
+
+### Session II: __Binary data__
+
+__Proportions__: binomial distribution and likelihood function.
+__Prior distribution__: the beta distribution.
+__Summarising__ posterior inferences.
+
+
+### Session III. __Inference and prediction with simulated samples__
+
+__Estimation and prediction__. Simulated samples: comparison of independent populations.
+
+### Session IV. __Count data__
+
+__Count data__: Poisson distribution. Poisson model parameterised in terms of rate and exposure. Gamma distribution as __conjugate prior distributions__. Negative binomial __predictive distributions__. 
+
+
+### Session V. Normal data.
+
+__Normal data__: Estimation of a normal mean with known variance. __Prediction__ of a future observation. Normal data with unknown mean and variance. __Nuisance
+parameters__. __Joint prior distributions__. Joint, conditional and marginal
+__posterior distributions__. 
+
+
+## Tuesday
+
+### Session I: Numerical approaches.
+
+The big problem in the Bayesian framework: resolution of integrals that appear when applying the learning process.
+Gaussian approximations, Laplace approximations, Monte Carlo integration and importance sampling, Markov chain Monte Carlo.
+
+
+### Session II. Bayesian linear models.
+
+Apply basic Importance Sampling and MCMC methods via available software for fitting regression models.
+
+### Session III. Bayesian generalised linear models.
+
+Extending regression models to non-Gaussian responses.
+
+### Session IV. Bayesian hierarchical models.
+
+Incorporating _random_ effects: __Bayesian hierarchical models__ (BHMs), the coolest tool for modelling highly structured models. Hierarchies, hyperparameters, and hyperpriors. (Generalised) linear mixed models as basic examples of BHMs.
+__Software__ for inference in Bayesian hierarchical models.

+VIBASS 7 is the seventh edition of the summer school on Bayesian Statistics to be held from 8th to 12th July 2024 in València (Spain).
+Here is a small [history of VIBASS and its past editions]({{ site.url }}/assets/vibass7/VIBASS_history.pdf).
+
+The five days of VIBASS are organised in __three parts__:
+
+1. The first two days include a [__basic course on Bayesian learning__]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-intro/) (12 hours), alternating conceptual and practical sessions with R packages.
+
+	It would be advisable that participants bring their laptops for the practical sessions.
+
+2. The [second part]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-course/) is dedicated to an __issue of current interest in Bayesian research__. 
+
+	This edition is dedicated to __Bayesian modelling for economic evaluation of healthcare interventions__.
+
+	This [12 h course]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-course/) is provided by [__Prof. Gianluca Baio__](https://gianluca.statistica.it/) (University College London, England). He is author of the books [_Bayesian Methods in Pharmaceutical Research_](https://gianluca.statistica.it/books/bmpr/), [_Bayesian Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with the R package BCEA_](https://gianluca.statistica.it/books/bcea/) and [_Bayesian Methods in Health Economics_](https://gianluca.statistica.it/books/bmhe/).
+
+  [![image]({{ site.urlimg }}gianluca-baio.jpg)]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-course/)
+
+
+
+3. The last day is devoted to the __seventh VIBASS Workshop__.
+
+	It includes two [plenary sessions]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-talks/), with invited speakers [__Dr. Alicia Quirós__](https://aliciaquiros.wordpress.com/) (Universidad de León, Spain) and [__Dr. Thomas Opitz__](https://biosp.mathnum.inrae.fr/homepage-thomas-opitz) (Inrae, Avignon, France).
+
+    [![]({{ site.urlimg }}alicia-thomas.jpg)]({{ site.url }}/events/vibass7-talks/)
+       
+    The workshop ends with a informal brainstorming and a __flash-presentations session__ with contributions of the participants in the school.
