The main course will be given by *Felix Otto *and additional lectures presented by *Scott Armstrong* and *Antoine Gloria*. There will also be a limited number of short contributed talks. The school is intended mainly for PhD students and early stage researchers, but open for everyone. Registration is free, but participants are required to register in advance, for organizational purposes. Further information on the school and deadlines (partial financial support, submission of an abstract for the contributed talks) can be found on the web page of the winter school: http://www.math.uni-augsburg.de/de/prof/ana/Tagungen/Winter-School-Stochastic-Homogenization/ Looking forward to see you in Augsburg.
