This workshop is dealing with the topic of validation of forecasting and relative topics.
In a nutshell, our goal is to mix around 35 researchers, statisticians, meteorologists, energy providers and other end users who have a common interest in probability forecasting, especially in the assessment of different forecasts.

The non-exhaustive list of potential topics is:

scoring rules theory, scoring functions in machine learning,
forecasting methods, aggregation of predictions and scores,
