Program Download

Welcome to the home page of the Pre-meeting for New Researchers to the Bernoulli-IMS 10th World Congress in Probability and Statistics. This event is hosted by Seoul National University (SNU) virtually on July 17-18, 2021.

The two-day pre-meeting dedicates the first day to the academic theme of Data Science. The second day is dedicated to a series of presentations and group discussions that pertain to career development.

The objectives of the pre-meeting are:

  1. 1.To stimulate interest of international young researchers in a rapidly emerging field.
  2. 2.To give support and perspective to young researchers with regard to mapping out their future career - especially for participants from developing countries.
  3. 3.To allow young researchers with common research interests to network amongst their peer group.

- Organizing committee:

  • Bibhas Chakraborty (National University of Singapore and Duke University) (Chair)
  • Imma Curato (Ulm University)
  • Jialiang Li (National University of Singapore)
  • Chae Young Lim (Seoul National University)
