Symposium on Recent Advances in Extreme Value Theory Honoring Ross Leadbetter

 

 
 Extreme value theory is still expanding rapidly. Much interest goes to spatial extremes but extremes in finite-dimensional space is also in full development both with regard to theory and with respect to applications. We use the awarding of a “honoris causa” degree to Ross Leadbetter by the university of Lisbon for his fundamental contributions to the field as an opportunity to highlight the recent developments.

Details about the symposium (to be held 18-20 March 2013) are available at http://extremes-lisbon2013.weebly.com/

We hope to see you in Lisbon
