School of Physical Sciences

This international Spring School is targeted at young researchers (PhD students and researchers, academics, practitioners within 5 years of PhD graduation) working on current actuarial science topics. 

Societal Impacts of Actuarial Research
The climate crisis, social inequalities, increased life expectancy and artificial intelligence are just some of the challenges facing our societies today. These challenges are multiplying all the time. To meet them, an understanding of the risks surrounding us and their implications is essential. Innovative solutions are needed to improve the management of such risks. This is why the 2025 edition of PARTY would like to advocate for research aiming to better manage some of these important risks current societies are facing.

Young researchers across disciplines, such as actuarial science, demography, insurance, mathematics, statistics, epidemiology, biology and economics are encouraged to participate, present and freely discuss among each other their most relevant questions in their specific fields. Invited experts from academia and practice will be available for feedback and will provide opening and closing remarks.

CETL-MSOR is an annual conference for practitioners working in mathematics teaching and/or mathematics support in HE. The themes for this year's conference are:

• Supporting students with statistics and data analysis
• Building student confidence with mathematics or statistics
• Transition of mathematics students into or out of higher education
• Initiatives to enhance student engagement or student community in mathematics
• Mathematics teaching and support in times of generative A.I.

The second EuPRAXIA Camp will shine a light on the breakthrough science that the EuPRAXIA facility will enable. Talks will explore how advanced accelerator technologies pave the way for more compact and versatile particle accelerators. The Camp will discuss next-generation compact light sources, medical applications, and micro accelerators driven by THz radiation, highlighting the enormous potential for scientific discovery.

The workshop will be held at Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal from 14 - 15 July 2025.

The EuPRAXIA Camps are open to everyone interested in the latest R&D results in plasma accelerators and not limited to members of EuPRAXIA. Participants are asked to suggest their contribution during registration and indicate if they would like to contribute a talk or a poster.

Registration and payment deadline: 15 June 2025
