The 5th Ph.D. School in the series of Foundations of Programming and Software Systems took place in Copenhagen from October 14 to October 18, 2024 under the title "Probability in Computer Science". This week-long event brought together around 75 participants, including PhD students and leading experts from computer science, but also from other fields such as mathematics and engineering, to explore relevant topics in various areas in computer science that encounter probabilities. Organized by Joost-Pieter Katoen from RWTH Aachen University, and Andrzej Wasowski and Raúl Pardo from the IT University of Copenhagen, the school combined a rich academic program with engaging social activities, allowing the participants to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss various research topics.
