A Special Focus Period on Challenges and Perspectives in Probability was held at the CRM in Montreal and PIMS-UBC in Vancouver during 2008-09. This program complemented the CRM's program on Probabilistic Methods in Mathematical Physics, which was held in Montreal during 2008-09. For more information on the latter, see http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/Mathphys2008/

The 2009 Summer School in Probability took place at PIMS-UBC, June 8 to July 3, 2009, with two 30-hour graduate courses:
Renormalisation Group and the Renormalization Group, David Brydges (UBC)
Stochastic Population Systems, Don Dawson (Carleton and McGill)
Aisenstadt Chair Svante Janson will visit the CRM October 13-25, 2008.PIMS Distinguished Chair Don Dawson will visit PIMS-UBC during the 2009 Summer School.The Postdoctoral Program in the Probability Group at UBC has been expanded during 2008-09. Those interested in future postdoctoral appointments should apply as described here.
