2nd Icelandic Probability Meeting,
Reykjavík, 4th-5th January, 2005
The scope of this satellite meeting is probability theory and its applications. Everyone is welcome to participate, but there is no financial support available for participants. However, for those flying to the Franco-Nordic Congress from Paris there is a direct flight on the 3rd which is cheaper than the indirect flight on the 5th (the difference covers the 2 extra hotel nights).
Those who are interested in giving a talk (or just participating) should send an e-mail to Hermann (hermann@hi.is). Information about the meeting will be continuously updated on this webpage.
Check also the congress itself (click "Home" on the left of this text), where probability theory is one of three main themes with two plenary speakers and a probability session each afternoon.
