About EVA

About the annual Extreme Value Analysis conference.

EVA 2021 is organised by the School of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, and supported by the Centre for Statistics (CfS) and the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS). It is sponsored by Springer, Bernoulli Society, the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research, and the Portuguese Statistical Society.

The conference brings together researchers in Extreme Value Theory, Methods and its Applications.

Its inception took place almost 40 years ago in Vimeiro, Portugal (1983); on the right is a photo of the first edition of the conference (courtesy of Feridun Turkman and Laurens de Haan).
