What: The conference is a two day event showing new directions combining ergodic theory and dynamical systems with number theory and probability theory. In order to make the talks more accessible for younger researchers (in particular last year undergraduate students and PhD students) we will give some introductory talks before the start of the conference.
When: Conference: starting Wednesday, 11 Feburary 2026, 1:30pm to Thursday 12 February 2026, early afternoon (latest) - precise updates will follow
Introductory talks for young researchers: 11 Feburary 2026, 11:00am to 12:30pm
Where: University of Exeter, Streatham Campus, the rooms and precise times will be updated closer to the event.

To attend this two day meeting, there is no registration nor any fee. However, to help us minimise waste and plan effectively for the refreshment break and dinner reservation, we kindly ask anyone planning to attend to consider filling out the following short form. Your participation is entirely optional, but it would be greatly appreciated.
The event is partly funded by the London Mathematical Society to celebrate Tanja Schindler's new appointment and partly funded by a seed funding grant to enhance collaboration between University of Exeter and Université Paris-Saclay.
Lunch: We will not organize a formal joint lunch. However, a number of us will head to La Touche. Other on-campus lunch options are the following: Forum Kitchen, Innovation Center Cafe . All of them are only a couple of steps away from the math department / lecture rooms.
Dinner: On Tuesday we plan to have a dinner at a restaurant closer to the city center / train station. If you plan to attend, we would appreciate it if you would complete the form linked above.
Financial Support: At the moment we are not able to offer any financial support.
