The school is intended as a forum to discuss new developments in probability and related areas, an occasion to detect new directions of research and to establish new collaborations, and an opportunity for the students to begin their scientific life.

This year the school will take place at Boa Viagem beach, a beautiful place located in Recife, in the state of Pernambuco. With almost 8 km of extension, Boa Viagem is one of the longest stretch of urbanized seafront in Brazil, and is famous for its costal reefs and natural pools
