BMS-ANed consists of two scientific professional associations:

• Biometrical Section of VVS-OR
• Dutch region of International Biometric Society

These two associations have joined forces to promote the study and application of statistics in medicine, life sciences and related fields. These joint goals are formulated in a combined policy plan. BMS-ANed offers a platform for scientists working in the field of biostatistics to meet and exchange knowledge and is, among others, responsible for

• Organization of scientific meetings in the field of biostatistics
• Management of the national Register of Biostatisticians
• Co-organization of the biannual international Channel Network Conference
• Awarding the biannual Hans van Houwelingen Biometry Award

The policy-making and legislative body of BMS-ANed is the general Assembly, which meets annually.  The board is the policy-executing body of  BMS-ANed and is supported by two committees. Specific sub-disciplines and topics in biostatistics are organized in working groups that organize meetings in their respective fields. Both BMS and ANed have their own by-laws. Further documents, such as annual reports, financial reports, and general meeting minutes can be found on the archive page. BMS-ANed has a privacy declaration (in Dutch) following GDPR (Dutch: AVG) regulations.
