Dear all,
This is the first announcement of the summer school on
Probabilistic and statistical methods for networks
to be held at TU Berlin, 21 August - 1 September 2017.
The summer school will focus on probabilistic and statistical
methods for networks. This is an enormously rich topic that has
many connections between branches of mathematics, and
applications to many other scientific disciplines. The central
theme is randomness that may arise in various forms: it can be
used to construct models for networks, to analyse networks using
statistical methods, or as part of stochastic processes on
networks. One strand of the school will consider the theory of
statistical physics models on networks; another strand will
develop tools of statistical inference in network data; and a
third strand investigates applications such as networks in
neuroscience, traffic and telecommunication.
The School is primarily aimed at graduate students, but also at
postdocs, working in applied probability or in one of the
application fields with strong probabilistic flavour.

Registration will be open from 1 April 2017 until 31 May 2017.
The summer school is supported by the EPSRC via the Centre for
Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa) at the
University of Bath, the DFG via the Berlin Mathematical School and
by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics,
Berlin.
Please direct scientific questions about the school to the
organisers.
We hope to see you in Berlin at the end of August.
Best wishes,
