Aim: To bring together experts in fields of log-correlated fields, random matrix theory, and number theory to collectively improve our understanding of extreme values of logarithmically correlated random fields and processes and their applications. It will consist of a number of talks (both overview and specialised) with plenty of time between them meant for research collaboration between participants.

Structure of the Workshop: The first two days of the workshop will concentrate on the probabilistic viewpoints on log-correlated processes and their maxima, with the middle third of the week centering around freezing phenomena as well as on log-correlations within the random matrix theory context. The final sessions of the conference consider conjectural extrema in number theory.
