Forecasting in Rio e SINAPE

["gausscordeiro" <gausscordeiro@uol.com.br>]

Caros,

Realmente concordo com o ponto do Hélio Migon.

Evento super importante como esse

"Forecasting in Rio"

com tantos pesquisadores de renome, coincidindo com
o SINAPE.

Infelizmente, essas coisas no País acontecem por
falta total de entrosamento da nossa comunidade
científica - que por conta de ser reduzida -,
essas coincidências não deveria acontecer.

No ano passado a Escola de Regressão concidiu,
também, com o CLAPEM e tenho certeza que como eu,
várias pessoas gostariam de ir aos dois eventos.

Saudações,

Gauss
