XIV Escola Brasileira de Probabilidade

Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, de 01/08 até 07/08, 2010

The Brazilian School of Probability (EBP) has been organized each year since 1997. It is an initiative of the Brazilian probabilistic community, planned as a forum for the discussion of new ideas and developments in Probability and related areas. It is an opportunity to detect new research directions and to establish new collaborations, and an excellent occasion for students to start their scientific life. The EBP has been organized by IMPA, in Rio de Janeiro, by IME-USP and IMECC-UNICAMP, in São Paulo, and UFMG in Ouro Preto, together with “Instituto do Milênio” (IM-AGIMB), and has received support of several scientific societies and research agencies.

The 14th edition of the Brazilian School of Probability (XIV EBP) will take place jointly with the 2010 Annual Clay Mathematics Institute Summer School “Probability and Statistical Physics in Two and more Dimensions” at its fourth week. The joint event will be held in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, from August 1 to August 07, 2010.
