August 21 – 26, 2011, Dublin, Ireland
It is hard to believe that, having been involved in the planning of the 58th Congress since the beginning of 2005, that the WSC will take place in just four months’ time, from 21st to 26th of August.
Preparations are at an advanced stage and we look forward to hosting a successful Congress from a scientific perspective and, at an overall level, an enjoyable experience. We have planned some exciting social events as the part of the WSC, which will give you a flavour of Irish hospitality. On Sunday, 21st of August, we will have the Opening Ceremony, with entertainment and reception afterwards. On the final night, the Gala Dinner will provide an opportunity to sample fine quality Irish food and what will be an exciting package of Irish entertainment. There will also be an Irish Night on one of the evening’s during the Congress; tickets for this are available at an additional charge. Other events are being planned by the ISI for Young Statisticians, ISI Elected Members and Women Statisticians.
At this stage, we anticipate that there will be in excess of 1,200 papers in over 250 different sessions. Preliminary programme details for the invited paper and special topic sessions have been published on the website http://www.isi2011.ie.
We formally invite you to participate in the Dublin Congress and urge you to register as soon as possible. The early bird registration fee is available until the end of May, after which the cost increases somewhat. We promise you a memorable experience.

September 1 – 24, 2011, Hirschegg, Kleinwalsertal, Austria
http://www.uni-ulm.de/mawi/summer-academy-2011/
The aim of this Summer Academy is to give a concise introduction into methods, models and results of spatial stochastics. The focus will be put on applications of stochastic geometry and spatial statistics to quantitative, model-based description of microstructures which are investigated in science and engineering (e.g. the stochastic 3D modeling of transportation paths of charges, gases or liquids in complex structured materials). In particular, the quantitative analysis, modeling and simulation of geometrically complex structures such as irregular point patterns, fibre systems, geometric graphs and particle systems are covered.
During the summer academy, leading international experts in the fields of spatial stochastic modeling and its applications to science and engineering will share their knowledge with advanced students, graduates and PhD students as well as young researchers. There will be several cycles of lectures and tutorials given by the international experts.
Additionally, the Summer Academy will provide a forum for an active exchange of
ideas and new joint research projects.
Participants are invited to actively contribute to the scientific program by
presenting short talks and posters on their current research subjects.
The Summer Academy will take place in the Conference Center “Soellerhaus” in
Hirschegg (Kleinwalsertal) located in the nice surroundings of the Alps
(www.soellerhaus.de). It is open to PhD students and post-docs interested in
spatial stochastics and its applications as well as to advanced students and
graduates completing mathematics oriented Diplom or Master’s degree programs.
