Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods: Theory and Applications
FWF Special Research Program (SFB)
Workshops, Seminars, Schools
Within the SFB we will organize annual workshops, seminars and schools on themes related to the topics of the SFB for all the SFB participants. These will help to continue existing and to create new collaborations within the SFB and with external cooperators. Invited senior scientists shall participate at these workshops and the young researchers, who are employed by the SFB, will have the opportunity to present their results. In this context they will have a forum to exchange ideas, as well as to discuss scientific problems with the (senior) participants at the workshops, from within and outside the SFB.
The summer schools will mainly be targeted at PhD students and Postdocs. A small number of selected lecturers, in part members of the SFB, in part invited experts, will present lecture courses on recent developments and will be available for scientific exchange with the participating (mainly) young researchers.
Next Events
- Online talk series
From June 2020 until the end of 2020 (break August 2020) we will organise a series of online talks. A number of speakers will offer single lectures or workshops depending on the topic. We will post the list of speakers, topics, dates of the Zoom-talks on this website.
The SFB Members will automatically receive the Link to the Zoom-talk at 12.00 on the day of the talk.
If you are not an SFB Member but you are interested in following a Zoom - talk, please send an email to officeSFB@jku.at and we will send you the link to the talk.
Organisers: Benjamin Eichinger, Aicke Hinrichs
Local organiser: Lucia Del Chicca
The talk series is partly funded by Austrian Science Fund FWF, Project No. J 4138-N32.
