On 26 and 27 March 2020, the maths department of the Université of Rouen, Normandy, France, organizes a (free) workshop on mixture distributions. With the following speakers
-
- Christophe Biernacki (Laboratoire Paul Painlevé, Univ. Lille 1 et INRIA)
- Vincent Brault (Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann, Univ. Grenoble Alpes)
- Gilles Celeux (Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay, Univ. Paris Sud et INRIA)
- Elisabeth Gassiat (Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay, Univ. Paris Sud)
- Van Hà Hoang (Laboratoire de Mathématique Raphaël Salem, Univ. Rouen Normandie)
- Hajo Holzmann (Philipps-University Marburg, Germany)
- Dimitri Karlis (Department of Statistics, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece)
- Trung Tin Nguyen (LMNO, Univ. Caen Normandie)
- Andrea Rau (Département de Génétique Animale, INRA, Jouy en Josas)
- Pierre Vandekerkhove (Laboratoire d’Analyse et de Mathématiques Appliquées, Univ. Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée)
- Cinzia Viroli (Department of Statistical Sciences, Universita di Bologna, Italia)
Unfortunately, since this is my former department, I will not be able to attend as I am taking part into the SIAM Conference on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ20), on the very same days. In a session on likelihood-free inference.
Hausdorff school on MCMC [28 March-02 April, 2020]

The Hausdorff Centre for Mathematics will hold a week on recent advances in MCMC in Bonn, Germany, March 30 – April 3, 2020. Preceded by two days of tutorials. (“These tutorials will introduce basic MCMC methods and mathematical tools for studying the convergence to the invariant measure.”) There is travel support available, but the application deadline is quite close, as of 30 September.
Note that, in a Spring of German conference, the SIAM Conference on Uncertainty Quantification will take place in Munich (Garching) the week before, on March 24-27. With at least one likelihood-free session. Not to mention the ABC in Grenoble workshop in France, on 19-20 March. (Although these places are not exactly nearby!)
