Dear Colleagues,
This is the second announcement for the winter school *Statistical Mechanics, Nonequilibrium Processes, and Probability*, which will take place on *February 17-28, 2025*, at the Mathematics Department of Sapienza University, Rome.
We are pleased to inform you that the *registration deadline for the school has been extended to December 20, 2024*, and to share the link to the school’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/winterschoolsapienza/home
To register, please complete the form available on the website (here https://sites.google.com/view/winterschoolsapienza/registration?authuser=0 the link). Participation is *free*, but registration is mandatory.
The school will also include *short talk sessions* for PhD students and early postdocs.
*Lecturers of the February school:*
*Week 1 (Feb 17–21):*
- Kazuo Aoki (National Cheng Kung University & Kyoto University) - Eric Carlen (Rutgers University) - Alessia Nota (University of L'Aquila) - Benjamin Schlein (University of Zurich)
*Week 2 (Feb 24–28):*
- Paul Dario (University of Paris-Est Créteil) - Sabine Jansen (Ludwig Maximilian University) - Eva Löcherbach (University of Paris 1) - Fabio Toninelli (Technical University of Vienna)
The school will inaugurate the scientific *Eccellenza* program at Sapienza, titled *Statistical Mechanics and Nonequilibrium Processes*, which will conclude in July 2025. This program includes workshops, doctoral courses, and seminar series. More information about the program will be found on the following website: program https://sites.google.com/uniroma1.it/excellence-department-mmsp/mmsp-th-periods?authuser=0 .
Both the winter school and the *Eccellenza* program will focus on several topics, including:
- kinetic theory and probability, - random growth models, - percolation, - probabilistic models for neural networks, - quantum-mechanical transport, - non-dissipative transport in topological materials, and - large-scale limits.
The common thread is the rigorous mathematical investigation of equilibrium and nonequilibrium phenomena and statistical physics models. Our goal is to present current research directions at an accessible level for students and young researchers, fostering collaborative research in these areas.

Best regards,
The local coordinators
