The deadline for the 2024 iteration of the Summer School for Astrostatistics in Crete is approaching fast. We are excited to host this event, which actually starts to settle as an annual event. And why not since it seems there is a huge need in practical training in statistics and machine/deep learning practices. After all we all use these or similar tools in our everyday work. It is absolutely essential for the modern astronomer / astrophysicist to fully understand statistical terms as they are faced with tons of data.
