To
all interested researchers, young(er) and old(er),We’re
happy to announce that we’ve finalised the programme of the 11th SIPTA School, and that it can be found on the school’s recently launched website: https://school24.sipta.org/.
We recall from our previous mail 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.DATE
