The workshop “Mass Transportation Theory: Opening perspectives in Statistics, Probability and Computer Science” will be held at the IMUVA facilities in Valladolid, Spain. The workshop will include two short courses (5 hours each) to be given by leading research experts on the field. A second scientific activity will consist of plenary conferences covering the main methodological challenges and achievements of the Mass Transportation Theory from several points of view, notably those related to Statistics, Probability and Computer Science. The workshop will include, as well, oral contributions to be selected from proposals by young researchers interested in the topic. The number of participants is limited to 40.
