École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour

The Saint-Flour volumes are reflections of the courses given at the Saint-Flour Probability Summer School. Founded in 1971, this school is organised every year by the Laboratoire de Mathématiques Blaise Pascal (CNRS and Université Clermont Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, France). It is intended for PhD students, teachers and researchers who are interested in probability theory, statistics, and in their applications.

The duration of each school is 12 days (it was 17 days up to 2005), and up to 100 participants can attend it. The aim is to provide, in three high-level courses, a comprehensive study of some fields in probability theory or Statistics. The lecturers are chosen by an international scientific board. The participants themselves also have the opportunity to give short lectures about their research work.

Participants are lodged and work in the same building, a former seminary built in the 18^th century in the city of Saint-Flour, at an altitude of 900 m. The pleasant surroundings facilitate scientific discussion and exchange.

The Saint-Flour Probability Summer School is supported by:

• Laboratoire de Mathématiques Blaise Pascal
• Université Clermont Auvergne
• Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (C.N.R.S.)
• European Mathematical Society (E.M.S.)
