The eleventh SIPTA School on Imprecise Probabilities took place from Monday 12 to Friday 16 August 2024 in the beautiful city of Ghent.
The goal of this week was to bring interested researchers together and introduce them to the world of imprecise probabilities.
The organisers, Alexander Erreygers and Floris Persiau, from the research group “Foundations Lab for imprecise probabilities” at Ghent University, did a wonderful job at achieving that goal.
They succeeded at organising a school at which not only everything went by very smoothly, but they also succeeded in bringing a diverse group of people together from across the world (the Netherlands, Spain, US, UK, …).
The presence of the wide variety of profiles - PhD students, master students, researchers from the private sector, experienced lecturers/professors - made the SIPTA school even more interesting.

The 9th International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications was held from Monday 20 to Friday 24 July 2015 in the Italian city of Pescara. This conference was a result of the productive cooperation among the members of the Steering Committee, formed by Thomas Augustin, Gert de Cooman, Enrique Miranda, Erik Quaeghebeur, Teddy Seidenfeld, and myself. I wish to thank the members of the Local Organizing Committee, Attilio Grilli, Mariangela Scorrano and Andrea Di Cencio for their valuable help and the Department of Engineering and Geology of the University G. d’Annunzio for its financial support.

A workshop on Imprecise Probabilities in Statistics and Philosophy took place at LMU Munich on the 27th and 28th of June. The workshop was co-organised by the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy and the LMU statistics department. There were speakers from four continents, and a broad range of views in philosophy and statistics were represented. The conference was a great success and we hope that this leads to closer ties between the philosophy and statistics communities.

The Eighth International Symposium on Imprecise Probabilities: Theories and Applications (ISIPTA ‘13) took place in the nice city of Compiègne, from July 2nd to July 5th.
We have to thank Fabio Cozman, Thierry Denoeux, Teddy Seidenfeld (and myself) for the scientific organization, and Cédric Baudrit, Véronique Berger-Cherfaoui, Thierry Denoeux, Mylène Masson, Benjamin Quost, Mohamed Sallak (and myself) for the local organization.
With the participants, they all contributed to make of this ISIPTA a very interesting and friendly meeting.
During one week, recent research in the field of Imprecise Probability Theory and the potential of imprecise methods to improve statistical analysis was vividly discussed by the workshop’s participants, who included international guests from the UK, France, Russia, Iran, Slovenia, Canada, and Switzerland. An updated programme is available on the workshop’s website.
