Overview

At the suggestion of the Council of the Bernoulli Society, a committee has been formed of directors/representatives of mathematical institutes that are organizing and/or developing programs in the stochastic sciences and related fields. The task of the committee is to encourage, promote and facilitate the cooperation of institutes that share the common goal of providing high-level research and training in the stochastic sciences with a national and international profile.

Committee members will:

• share experiences on past activities;
• inform each other about upcoming events;
• investigate possibilities for exchange of researchers/visitors and for tuning of future programmes;
• encourage the development of new programs;
• discuss fundraising both nationally and internationally;
• seek to assist colleagues who are actively working towards the creation of new institutes.

Through the committee the Bernoulli Society wishes to stimulate cross-border communication and to create a forum for exchange.

Chair of the committee was Frank den Hollander (EURANDOM, The Netherlands, )

The first meeting of the committee took place at the 4th World Congress of the Bernoulli Society in Barcelona, on July 27, 2004.
