Who we are
StatUa is the statistical core facility of the University of Antwerp. We support researchers in every stage of the research process by providing statistical consultancy, methodological guidance, and high-quality training in statistical data analysis.
Our goal is to empower researchers to make sound methodological decisions, perform robust statistical analyses, and communicate their findings with confidence. Whether you are designing a study, analysing data, or interpreting results, StatUa provides expert support tailored to your research questions.
What we do
StatUa offers three complementary services:
- Statistical consultancy – tailored methodological advice and support for research projects.
- Training – introductory and advanced courses in statistics and data analysis.
- Research collaboration – methodological expertise for interdisciplinary research projects and the development of innovative statistical methods.
Together, these activities contribute to improving the quality, transparency, and reproducibility of scientific research.
Our approach
At StatUa, we believe that statistics should be more than a collection of software commands. Our approach is centered on understanding the statistical methods behind the analyses and selecting techniques that are appropriate for the research question.
Our work is guided by several core principles:
- Methodological excellence
- Research integrity
- Clear and interpretable communication
- Attention to the scientific context
- Learning by doing
- Tailored support for different research disciplines
- Empowering researchers to independently perform and interpret statistical analyses
