Lectures and Seminars in Probability

Courses in probability theory are regularly offered. They are often complemented by mini-courses or special activities.

The student seminar in probability theory is held at times at the undergraduate level (for instance this spring term 2012) and at times at the graduate level. The themes vary each semester (percolation, branching processes, interacting particle systems, random matrices, concentration of measures ...).

Every week in the seminar on stochastic processes invited speakers present current developments in their research. This seminar covers a broad spectrum of themes. The announcements of the seminar can be found in the weekly bulletin of the FIM.

Twice a year the Swiss probability seminar meets in Bern. During a Wednesday afternoon several invited guest speakers give lectures on recent advances in probability theory.

The weekly seminar on financial and insurance mathematics often hosts speakers of direct interest to Probability Theory.
