Three editions of Why R? conferences were a great networking success. During each edition, we gathered around 250-300 R enthusiasts from Europe and we managed to carry out more than 100 presentations and 35 workshops over 3 years. Desire for a bigger event led us to the 4th edition!

Because of the global pandemic, we decided to transform Why R? 2020 into the online event. Also due to the COVID 2019 outbreak, we rescheduled Why R? 2020 from 2020-08-27/30 to 2020-09-24/27. We hope to meet you virtually!.

As the meeting is held in English we invite R users from all over the globe!

We will stream the conference on youtube.com/WhyRFoundation.
