The aim of this Summer Academy is to give a concise introduction into methods, models and results of spatial stochastics. The focus will be put on applications of stochastic geometry and spatial statistics to quantitative, model-based description of microstructures which are investigated in science and engineering (e.g. the stochastic 3D modelling of transportation paths of charges, gases or liquids in complex structured materials). In particular, the quantitative analysis, modelling and simulation of geometrically complex structures such as irregular point patterns, fibre systems, geometric graphs and particle systems are covered.

During the Summer academy, leading international experts in the fields of spatial stochastic modelling and its applications to science and engineering will share their knowledge with advanced students, graduates and PhD students as well as young researchers. There will be several cycles of lectures and tutorials given by the international experts. Additionally, the Summer Academy will provide a forum for an active exchange of ideas and new joint research projects. Participants are invited to actively contribute to the scientific program by presenting short talks and posters on their current research subjects.

The Summer Academy will take place in the Conference Center 'Soellerhaus' located in the nice surroundings of the Alps (www.soellerhaus.de). It is open to PhD students and post-docs interested in spatial stochastics and its applications as well as to advanced students and graduates completing mathematics oriented Diplom or Master degree programmes.
