To all interested researchers, young(er) and old(er), fast(er) and slow(er),
Since the early bird deadline of the SIPTA School 2024 is approaching, we like to remind you to bear the following in mind:
- If you want to make use of the early bird fee, you should register<https://school24.sipta.org/registration/> before 15 April 2024. The same deadline applies if you want to make use of our option to rent a private room for the duration of the summer school.
- We have 5 grants available for (partially) covering your accommodation and transport costs. If you want to apply for one of these grants, you should do so by 10 April 2024.
We remind you that the school’s aim is to introduce doctoral students – and other interested researchers – to the basics of imprecise probabilities, from its foundations in (applied) mathematics and logic to its applications in quantum physics, economy and AI. More information on the full programme, the lecturers, etc. can of course be found on the school’s website<https://school24.sipta.org/>.
Date and location The SIPTA School 2024 takes place from Monday 12 to Friday 16 August 2024 in the wonderful city of Ghent, Belgium.
Registration For doctoral students at a Flemish University, the registration fee is € 0 and the deadline for registration is 30 June 2024. For all other participants, the registration fee depends on the moment of registration. There is an early bird fee of € 100, which requires you to register before 15 April 2024. After this deadline, a late bird fee of € 125 will apply, and the deadline for registration is 30 June 2024 as well. All fees include admission to the lectures, lunches, coffee breaks, a pizza night and a kayak session. Moreover, we also provide you with the option to rent a private room for the duration of the summer school, which comes at a cost of € 330. If you want to make use of this option, then you must register before 15 April 2024.
Grants We can distribute 5 grants to students who experience financial barriers to attending the summer school. In addition to waiving the registration fee, every grant provides free accommodation, and covers (part of) your transport costs up to € 250. The deadline for application is 10 April 2024; more information on how to apply for these grants can be found in the Registration<https://school24.sipta.org/registration/> section of the school’s website.
We look forward to welcoming and meeting you in Ghent!
Please (continue) spread(ing) the word!
With kind regards,
Floris Persiau and Alexander Erreygers
