Oxford-Berlin Summer School 2026

Oxford-Berlin Summer School on Mathematics of Random Systems 2026

The 2026 Oxford-Berlin Summer School is jointly organised by the the Berlin-Oxford IRTG group and the EPSRC CDT in Mathematics of Random Systems. The Summer School will be held in Lecture Room L5 at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford from the 14-18 September 2026. In addition to the lecture courses, there will additional invited talks by guest lecturers and presentations by selected PhD students.

Registration is now closed.

Lecture programme:

Professor Charles Bertucci (CMAP, École Polytechnique)

Title: Analysis in measure spaces. Applications to the mean-field control.

Lecture Notes for Professor Bertucci's course can be found here.

 

Professor Laure Dumaz (Ecole Normale Superieure)

Title: Random matrices, Schrödinger operators, and their scaling limits
