The study of large deviations has emerged as a major theme of research in statistical physics over the last two decades, with multiple applications in several inter-disciplinary fields such as climate science, information theory, disordered systems, etc. The proposed school will gather international experts, spanning across disciplines, who will provide a broad overview (with long and short courses) of this rapidly evolving field.
