This lecture series focuses on methods for uncertainty quantification in computational science. Lectures will be given by experts in the field from Academia and Sandia National Laboratories. The topics covered range from recent advances in efficient UQ algorithms, robust/reliable optimization and epistemic UQ to applications.
The lecture series directors are Prof. Thierry Magin from the von Karman Institute and Prof. Catherine Gorlé from the Stanford University.

Fee & Registration
Early bird (before July 15, 2014)
Normal Fee (after July 15, 2014)
For undergraduate student, the request to be considered for an award must accompany the application to attend the Lecture Series, and the applicant must provide a recommendation letter from his or her professor; if not done so, the request will not be taken into consideration. All possible alternative sources of funding should be investigated before aid is requested under this scheme, so that those most in need will benefit.
The fee includes printed notes, lunches, beverages, and administrative costs.
For non-Nato citizens, a request should be sent directly to STO (STO Paris, attn : Mrs. S.
