Dear colleagues,

We are organising a workshop in memory of our colleague and friend Francesca Romana Nardi, who passed away on October 21, 2021. Colleagues from all over Italy and Europe will gather in Florence in the week of July 18-22 to talk about mathematical topics that were very close to her heart. We want to celebrate her life, her scientific contributions, and the warmth that she brought to our community. This 5-day workshop is open to everyone who’s interested. For precise details, such as venue, invite speakers, and program, please see: https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/celebrating-francesca/

REGISTRATION (Deadline for registration: June 30) Registration is free of charge. For organizational purposes we kindly ask all participants to fill in the following registration form: https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/registration-francesca-romana-nardi-a-life-in-pr... https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/registration-francesca-romana-nardi-a-life-in-probability-building-communities-across-europe/ If you would like to participate and you need travel support, we might be able to help you. Please write an email to: nardi.event@gmail.com

MEMORIAL SESSION On Thursday, July 21, there will be a streamed memorial session in the afternoon (the only online activity of the workshop!). The idea of this session is to give the floor to both participants, and colleagues that cannot join us physically in Florence for this event, who want to share a few personal words, memories or anecdotes about Francesca. Shall you give this short contribution during this memorial session, please contact us before the event at nardi.event@gmail.com, we will be happy to schedule your intervention (for which you should consider up to 5 minutes). Please feel free to inform about this session anyone who might be interested in contributing.

Kind regards, Gianmarco Bet,

on behalf of the organisers, Luisa Andreis, Luca Avena, Gianmarco Bet, Alexandre Gaudilliere, Elisabetta Scoppola, Alessandro Zocca
