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，名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2020年英国复活节概率会议计划于2020年3月在曼彻斯特大学举行，当时新冠肺炎大流行爆发。由于研究转向远程活动，会议临时取消了。作为回归面对面研究活动的一部分，我们正在申请于2023年在同一地点举办一次新版本的会议。这次会议将通过加强英国和国际专家在概率论的最新发展和未来研究及其在其他研究领域的应用方面的互动，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界提供一个聚集在一起的机会，特别是对于早期职业研究人员来说，有机会再次建立网络。因此，以下申请与原资助的EPSRC申请（EP/T011696/1）基本相似，该申请将用于2020年的活动。申请书已适当更新，以反映变化的情况，包括更新发言者名单和重新评估所需的支助。概率论是英国的一个优势领域，对许多其他科学学科也很重要。我们的研讨会重点关注概率论在其他研究领域的新发展应用，包括统计物理、数学生态学和随机网络。讲习班以三个小型课程为中心，由国际知名研究人员根据上述三个主题授课。这些迷你课程将由12位顶尖研究人员的邀请演讲补充，同时博士生和早期职业研究人员也有机会进行贡献演讲或在海报会议上发言。此外，工作坊的拟议时间表亦包括分组会议和讨论小组的时间，以促进探索新的研究方向和支持形成新的合作关系。

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.
