Week 1 - Workshop on Randomness and Learning on Networks
July 29th to August 2nd, 2024
The first week of the event will consist of a short focused workshop consisting of:
- plenary talks by leading experts in the field;
- a selection of contributed talks
- a minicourse at the MSc/early PhD level in discrete Probability;
- a minicourse on Statistics for networks especially aimed at students with a strong mathematical background;
- plenty of open problem/collaborative work sessions.
The extended program is open to all. A small amount of financial aid will be available, with priority given to young researchers and students from South American institutions.
Participants from RandNET institutions in Europe and Chile may be funded through secondments from this grant; contact the team leader at your institution for more details.
