The school "New Perspectives in Markov Chain Monte Carlo" is aimed at providing a survey of several recent developments in MCMC. There will be three courses of lectures taught by leading researchers; additionally, some participants will be given the opportunity of presenting their own results. The school is addressed to mathematicians, statisticians, and scientists interested in MCMC. PhD students and postdoctoral researchers attending the school may be financially supported by the organization.

An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline---including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others---and the study of "network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education. The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications" offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical developments and applications in targeted fields.
