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
and at times at the graduate level (for
instance this winter term 2004/2005).
The themes vary each semester (percolation, branching processes, interacting
particle systems, random matrices, concentration of measures ...)
Every week in the stochastic
processes seminar 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.
