SUMMARY

The Stochastic Activity Month (SAM) "Probability and Analysis", will take place at Eurandom during March 2016.
 

The main theme of SAM 2016 is "Variational structures and large deviations for interacting particle systems and partial differential equations".
The following four subthemes will be addressed:

1) Large deviations: gradient flows, polymers and disordered systems.
2) Stochastic homogenisation.
3) Partial differential equations in random environment.
4) Efficient simulation of rare events.
