1st UK workshop on probabilistic reasoning using chain event graphs

On Thursday 7th and Friday 8th February, the School hosted the "1st UK workshop on probabilistic reasoning using chain event graphs" supported by the Celebrating New Appointment scheme of the London Mathematical Society and organized by Dr Manuele Leonelli. The event included presentations by Prof Jim Smith from the University of Warwick and Prof Eva Riccomagno from the University of Genova. Around 20 participants attended the event, including postgraduate students and post-docs from across Europe. The School kindly supported a wine reception on the evening of Thursday 7th of February which was highly appreciated by all participants. The closing talk of the workshop, delivered by Dr Peter Thwaites from the University of Leeds, coincided with the Statistics Weekly Seminar, thus providing an opportunity of interaction between the participants and staff and students from the University of Glasgow.
