Workshop: UK Easter Probability Meeting 2023

这是一个为期5天的概率研究研讨会的部分资金申请，题为复杂系统的随机建模，于2023年3月27日至3月31日在曼彻斯特大学举行。由EPSRC资助的英国复活节概率会议原计划于2020年3月在曼彻斯特大学举行，当时新冠肺炎疫情爆发。由于研究过渡到远程活动，会议在短时间内被取消。作为回归面对面研究活动的一部分，我们正在申请在2023年在同一地点举办这次会议的新版本。这次会议将通过加强英国和国际专家之间关于概率及其在其他研究领域的应用的最新发展和未来研究的互动，使英国数学受益。特别强调女性学者和早期职业研究人员的参与。研讨会将为英国概率研究社区提供一个聚集在一起的机会，特别是为职业生涯早期的研究人员提供再次建立网络的机会。因此，下面的申请基本上类似于向EPSRC提交的最初的资助申请(EP/T011696/1)，该申请将用于2020年活动。该应用程序已在适当情况下进行了更新，包括更新的发言者名单和对所需支持的重新评估。可能性是英国的一个优势领域，对许多其他科学学科也很重要。我们的工作坊专注于概率在其他研究领域的新开发应用，包括统计物理、数学生态和随机网络。讲习班围绕上述三个主题由国际知名研究人员举办的三个小型课程为中心。除了迷你课程外，还将有来自顶尖研究人员的12次受邀演讲，以及博士生和早期职业研究人员发表贡献演讲或出席海报会议的机会。此外，讲习班的拟议时间表包括为分组会议和讨论小组留出的时间，以促进探索新的研究方向，并支持形成新的合作。

This is an application for partial funding for a 5-day research workshop in probability entitled Stochastic Modelling of Complex Systems, held at the University of Manchester, 27 March to 31 March 2023.The UK Easter Probability Meeting 2020, funded by EPSRC, was planned to take place at the University of Manchester in March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. The meeting was cancelled at short notice as research transitioned to remote activities. As part of the return to in-person research events, we are applying to run a new version of this meeting in 2023 at the same venue.The meeting will benefit UK mathematics by enhancing interactions between UK and international experts on recent developments and future study in probability and its applications to other areas of research. Particular emphases are placed on the participation of female academics and early career researchers. The workshop will offer an opportunity for the UK research community in Probability to come together, and especially for early-career researchers to have the chance to network once again. As a consequence, the application following is substantially similar to the original, funded application to EPSRC (EP/T011696/1) which was to be used for the 2020 event. The application has been updated where appropriate to reflect changed circumstances, including an updated speaker list and a reassessment of support required.Probability is an area of strength for the UK and importance for many other scientific disciplines. Our workshop focuses on the newly-developed applications of probability to other areas of research including statistical physics, mathematical ecology and random networks. The workshop is centred on three mini-courses, given by internationally distinguished researchers, corresponding to the three themes mentioned above. The mini-courses will be complemented by twelve invited talks from leading researchers, alongside opportunities for PhD students and early career researchers to give contributed talks or present at a poster session. Additionally, the proposed schedule of the workshop contains time set aside for break-out sessions and discussion groups, to facilitate exploration of new research directions and to support the formation of new collaborations.
