Dear colleagues,

The Focused Research Group on Integrable Probability is organizing a Summer School at University of Virginia, May 27 to June 8, 2019. The school is aimed to educate graduate students and young researchers in recent trends around Integrable Probability - a rapidly developing field at the interface of probability / mathematical physics / statistical physics on the one hand, and representation theory / integrable systems on the other.

There will be 4 mini-courses:

Week 1
- Dmitry Chelkak (École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France)
- Ole Warnaar (University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia)
Week 2
- Tomohiro Sasamoto (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan)
- Paul Zinn-Justin (University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia)

We have some NSF support to cover accommodation at a University of Virginia residence hall, and to partially contribute towards travel expenses (the travel support amount depends on the number of interested participants). Preference will be given to graduate students, postdocs, early career researchers, and members of underrepresented groups.

Deadlines: 
- To request residence hall accommodation: January 5, 2019
- To request financial support: March 1, 2019
- General registration: April 20, 2019
