The goal of the workshop is to offer junior female researchers in probability a platform to talk about their own research work and to get acquainted with important research topics presented by well-established female researchers.

To cover various topics in probability and its applications, three keynote talks by outstanding female probabilists and three invited talks are planned. Moreover, a number of contributed talks will be chosen by the organising committee among the submitted abstracts.

While contributed talks and financial support are reserved to female researchers, the workshop is of course open to everybody, and male participants are more than welcome.

It will include 3 keynote talks, 3 invited talks, several contributed talks, as well as a Q&A session with the speakers for the female participants.
