Get Involved
Participate in our Graphics Competition
14 Jan 2026
To highlight the creativity and diversity of research within the STOCHASTICA community, we are launching a STOCHASTICA Graphics Competition, open to all Action members. The competition invites participants to submit a visual output from their research, together with a short explanation of its scientific context and relevance, by April 2, 2026. Selected submissions will be showcased on the STOCHASTICA website and highlighted at upcoming Action events.
Sample image provided by Dr Wei Pan (ECMWF), obtained within the STUOD programme.
Submission Guidelines
Participants are invited to submit:
-
One original image related to their research.
The image does not need to be published and should not currently appear in a journal or book. However, submissions may be inspired by previously published results, provided the image itself is original (for example, generated using a different random seed, parameter choice, or visualisation setup). -
A short description (approximately 300 words) explaining the mathematical background, relevance, and significance of the image.
-
Author name(s) and affiliation(s).
How to Submit
- Submissions should be sent by email to stochastica.cost.graphics.2026@gmail.com.
- Please quote the most relevant working group (WG) for your submission (maximum two WGs).
-
Deadline: 2 April 2026.
Selection and Awards
-
WG leaders will select the best submissions within each working group.
-
The best overall submissions will be:
-
Displayed prominently on the STOCHASTICA website, and
-
Highlighted at upcoming STOCHASTICA Action events.
-
In addition, selected contributions will form the basis of a future STOCHASTICA Mathematics & Art Exhibition, aimed at outreach and engagement beyond the immediate research community.
Why Participate?
This initiative aims to:
-
Celebrate the aesthetic dimension of stochastic mathematics.
-
Build a visually engaging website that reflects the STOCHASTICA community;
-
Create a lasting visual resource for communication and public outreach.
We warmly encourage all Action members to participate and look forward to your submissions!
