Turin-Bath PhD Workshop in Applied Probability and Statistics

Turin-Bath PhD Workshop in Applied Probability and Statistics

The event aims at gathering PhD students and young researchers from the University of Bath (UK) and the University of Torino (Italy), and from their closest scientific partners. The purpose of the event is to promote scientific knowledge exchange in the respective fields of research and to foster potential new collaborations.

The 3-day workshop will feature some introductory-level short courses held by senior faculty, contributed presentations delivered by PhD students and young researchers, and possibly some round tables for open discussion on topics of particular shared interest.

For any enquiries please contact Tiziano De Angelis or Elena Issoglio.
