We are writing to announce the new Oxford Discrete Mathematics and Probability Seminar, which will take place on Tuesdays, on Zoom, starting on 31st March, and will feature talks in both Combinatorics and Probability. For the first week we will have a single seminar at 2pm (UK time); in most future weeks we will also have a second seminar at 3.30pm. The talks are open to everybody: please feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think might be interested. The first two talks will be: 31st March, 2pm: Rob Morris (IMPA), Erdős covering systems 7th April, 2pm: Louigi Addario-Berry (McGill), Hipster random walks. More details can be found at http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/scott/dmp.htm . This will be something of an experiment while we get to grips with the technology, but we're excited about the possibilities this format might bring! We are aware of several other excellent such initiatives going on, and will be keen to share our experiences and learn what works. We have set up a mailing list for seminar announcements, discmathprob(a)maillist.ox.ac.uk. In order to subscribe, please send an email to sympa(a)maillist.ox.ac.uk with subject “subscribe discmathprob Firstname Lastname” (replace “Firstname” and “Lastname” appropriately); leave the message body blank. You should receive a message to let you know that your subscription has been successful. Our intention (of course with the agreement of the speakers) is to record the seminars and put them on YouTube for an indefinite period of time, to act as a resource for the community.

Dear colleagues, please find below the announcement of a Datathon (real-time forecasting competition) on Covid-19 just started. Feel free to distribute to all interested parties. Best regards, Fabrizio Lillo ------------------------------------- Announcement and call for participation at Real-time Epidemic Datathon https://www.epidemicdatathon.com Real-time Epidemic Datathon is a collective open-source real-time forecasting challenge aimed at joining forces to push modeling limits further for real-time epidemic forecasting at large scale. Organized by ETH Zürich, UCLA, EU SoBigData++ project, NYU COURANT, and other partner organizations. The goal of this project is to bring together researchers and students from different disciplines (e.g., computer science, epidemiology, physics, statistics, applied math, ...) and advance real-time epidemic modeling frameworks. We provide a platform for scientific exchange and discussion. Participating teams can submit predictions of COVID-19 case evolutions in different countries and evaluate/compare their modeling approaches. Who can join? Everyone can join and contribute in various ways: (i) register as a developer (individual or with a team) of a real-time epidemic forecasting model, (ii) register and monitor scientific developments (see our disclaimer section), or (iii) share the news about this event and help us to reach more contributors. -------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Fabrizio Lillo Dipartimento di Matematica Università di Bologna ITALY Personal website: fabriziolillo.wordpress.com University website: www.unibo.it/sitoweb/fabrizio.lillo <http://fabriziolillo.wordpress.com/> phone: +39 050509159
