In the last decade, several studies have raised concerns about a high prevalence of errors in published research. Theoretical arguments have suggested the possibility that the number of false claims in the scientific literature is much higher than desired and reports across fields have subsequently shown that many findings that researchers believed were firmly established failed to replicate. These erroneous claims in the scientific literature raise important issues. From an empirical practitioner’s perspective, errors mislead and slow down research projects. From a philosophical perspective, scientific error raises questions about the right forms of scientific inference, scientific progress, and the reliability of science as a source of knowledge. From the perspective of the general public, scientific error undermines the epistemic authority of science and the degree to which policy-makers trust scientific experts.

The YEP Workshop is a yearly event organized by EURANDOM at Eindhoven University of Technology and this is the 19th workshop in this successful series. It is geared towards learning, development and networking opportunities for young researchers. The topic of the 2024 workshop is “Interplay between local and global graph structures”. An exciting area of research that covers a wide range of sub-topics within probability theory, random graph theory, and combinatorics, among others. A lot of cutting-edge research is currently undertaken in this area, so that perfectly lends itself as the subject of the 2024 workshop.

EURANDOM is turning 25 and we’re organizing a special anniversary event in the week of April 15-19, 2024 celebrating this wonderful milestone. The program will feature keynote talks by renowned speakers, reflect on some of the scientific highlights in the EURANDOM history as well as emerging research directions, cherish memories of the early days of the EURANDOM community, and discuss broader career perspectives for junior researchers as well as concepts for future workshops in a changing world.
