The One World Probability Seminar
(Virtual)
https://www.owprobability.org/about
The One World Probability project is an online platform for research seminars, workshops and schools in probability theory. Started during the Covid-19 epidemic in 2020, the project intends to bring together researchers from all over the world in a virtual and inclusive environment.
One World Extremes Seminar
(Virtual)
https://sites.google.com/view/ow-extremes/
The One World Extremes Seminar is an initiative to keep researchers with an interest in Extreme Value Theory (EVT) virtually connected in novel ways. It features both theoretical advances and important applications of EVT.
Asia-Pacific Seminars in Probability and Statistics
(Virtual)
https://sites.google.com/view/apsps/home
The seminar was created as a permanent forum for good research in
the field, with the aim to counterbalance the restrictions imposed
by pandemic and to still promote scientific exchange and cooperation. It
will run using Zoom.
Rényi 100 Conference
June 20 - 23, 2022
Budapest, Hungary
https://conferences.renyi.hu/renyi100/home
Alfréd Rényi was born on the 20th of March 1921. To celebrate this occasion, the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are organizing a high-profile conference, representing modern probability, graph theory and networks, information theory, dynamical systems, number theory and other fields in Rényi's spirit. That is: not respecting strictly the borders between these and possibly other areas of pure and applied mathematics.
International Symposium on Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS2022)
June 20 – 24, 2022
Paphos, Cyprus
http://cyprusconferences.org/isnps2022/
The conference has been postponed to 2022 and it will bring forth recent advances and trends in several areas of nonparametric statistics, in order to facilitate the exchange of research ideas, promote collaboration among researchers from all over the world, and contribute to the further development of the field. The program will include plenary talks, special invited talks, invited talks, contributed talks and posters on all areas of nonparametric statistics.
42nd Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications (SPA)
June 27 - July 1, 2022
Wuhan, China
http://spa2022.whu.edu.cn/
Previously scheduled for July 2021, the conference will take place in 2022. SPA Conferences are organized under the patronage of the Bernoulli Society and can justifiably be regarded as the most important international scientific meeting on the theory and applications of stochastic processes. They are held annually except for the years when the World Congress in Probability and Statistics takes place. This iteration is hosted by Wuhan University. The conference contains 11 plenary talks, including Itô Prize lecture, Medallion lecture, Doeblin Prize lecture, Medallion lecture and Doob lecture. There are 23 invited sessions (including a “Bernoulli Society New Researcher Award” session) and 27 contributed sessions, 150 talks in sum, covering the recent developments in the theory and applications of stochastic processes.
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the conference will be organized in hybrid format: in person for domestic participants and online for international speakers.
Brazilian School of Probability/ São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Singular Stochastic Partial Differential Equations and their Applications
August 2-13, 2022
Campinas, Brazil

The São Paulo school is divided into two parts. In the first week, there will be two introductory mini-courses that lay the foundations for the courses of the second week. The program will be complemented with several plenary talks, invited talks, a poster session and a visit to the LNLS laboratories, where the only particle accelerator of Latin America is located. The school will give full financial support for around 100 students and young researchers (50 from Brazil and 50 from abroad). To ask for financial support the registration deadline is April 15, 2022.
The EBP 20022 will coincide with the second week of the São Paulo School. As in previous years, the EBP will consist of two mini courses, plenary talks, contributed talks and poster sessions, all presented in a relaxed atmosphere. This will be the first edition at IMECC-UNICAMP, which is home to one of Brazil's top ranked Mathematics departments. More information is available at https://www.ime.unicamp.br/bsp2022.
