Stochastic processes with reinforcement
Berlin, November 03–06, 2026
Registration will open soon.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on reinforcement from a variety of perspectives, including urn models, preferential attachment, edge- and vertex-reinforced random walks, and learning-inspired stochastic dynamics. A further aim is to stimulate discussion around emerging directions, including models with non-trivial spatial interactions and connections to reinforcement learning, including multi-armed bandit models.
The scientific programme will start on the morning of Tuesday, November 03, and end the early afternoon on Friday, November 06.

The organisers have reserved hotel rooms for the speakers at the hotel Motel One Berlin-Alexanderplatz.
The other participants should arrange their own accomodation.
From Motel-One Alexanderplatz one can either walk about 22 minutes or take the U2 from Alexanderplatz to Hausvogteiplatz (about 12 minutes in total):
