London Probability Day & Tangents and New Normals 2026

We are pleased to announce that on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th January 2026, we will be hosting a two-day event at Queen Mary University of London. The first day will consist of a London Probability Day (LPD), a one-day conference in probability, and the second day will be a research workshop as part of the Tangents and New Normals (TnN) network.

• Monday 12th January 2026, 13.00 - 18.00. The third London Probability Day (LPD): Geometric methods in probability.

13:00 - 13:30 Reception

13:30 - 14:30 Annika Lang (Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg).

14:30 - 14:45 Break

10:00 - 12:00 Motivational problems brought forward by:

Annika Lang (Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg)

Aleksandar Mijatovic (University of Warwick)

Sam Power (University of Bristol)

12:00 - 13:00 Break for lunch

13:00 - 15:00 Workshop 

The London Probability Day on Monday 12th January will be the third in a series of events bringing together researchers in Probability across London and the UK. The first LPD took place at UCL in September 2024, and the second LPD took place at KCL in January 2025.

The workshop on Tuesday 13th January will have invited and contributed talks, opportunities for scientific discussion and networking, and consideration of longer-term network funding possibilities. It is part of the wider Tangents and New Normals (TnN) network, which focuses on geometric methods in probability, statistics, and machine learning. There will be subsequent two-day events within each of the statistics and machine learning themes.
