This workshop has stochastic processes on complex systems as its central theme, with a complementary focus on probabilistic models inspired by statistical mechanics. Speakers from around the world will present recent advances, offering diverse perspectives on this rapidly developing area. The program will also feature Japan-based researchers who are active on the global stage, supporting the dissemination of domestic research and facilitating international collaboration. Through a combination of talks and discussions, the workshop aims to foster meaningful exchange across related fields, encourage new connections, and provide a broad, up-to-date overview of current developments, thereby stimulating further progress in probability theory.

Registration information will appear here.

All talks will take place in room 420 of RIMS. Access information for RIMS appears here.

There are not many hotels especially close to Kyoto University, but there are plenty in the more central areas of the city, from which it is easy to commute by bus. (See here for a city bus map.) In particular, if you book a hotel within (or close to) the region contained within the streets Marutamachi - Kawaramachi - Shijo - Karasuma (in the north, east, south, west, respectively), then there will be no problem in accessing the University. Concerning booking, probably the easiest is to use a general hotel booking website (such as booking.com or expedia, etc), but if you have specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the organisers.

Those participating in a research activity at RIMS are asked to read its Code of Conduct carefully and understand how this applies to them. (Japanese version.)

Please see this page for information about RIMS' response to the novel coronavirus. (Japanese version.)

It is possible to arrange a temporary nursery place on campus during the research meeting for the use of researchers with children. For details, please contact one of the organisers or the Cooperative Research Service Section at RIMS. [Note that, in order to make arrangements in time, you will need to request a space at least one month prior to the event.]
