July 3-5, 2025
We are excited to announce a workshop in honor of Herold Dehling’s 70th birthday, bringing together leading experts to discuss recent advances in probability theory and its applications to statistics. The event will take place at Ruhr University Bochum from July 3–5, 2025.
The workshop will be held on the campus of Ruhr University Bochum. The campus can be reached from Bochum's main railway station by taking the U35 underground line in the direction of "Bochum Hustadt". The U35 runs every 5 minutes on weekdays and reaches the campus within 15 minutes.
Detailed maps and instructions on how to reach the campus can also be found here: www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/en/how-get-ruhr-university-bochum
