*IGAIA IV* Information Geometry and its Applications IV June 13-17, 2016, Liblice, Czech Republic Conference website: http://igaia.utia.cz
*About IGAIA IV* The fourth conference on Information Geometry and its Applications will be held on June 13-17, 2016, at Liblice Castle in Czech Republic. It is organized by the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The first three conferences took place in Pescara, Italy ( IGAIA I, 2002 <http://www.sci.unich.it/convegni/2002/infgeo/>), Tokio, Japan ( IGAIA II, 2005 <http://www.stat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/%7Einfogeo/index.html>), and Leipzig ( IGAIA III, 2010 <http://www.mis.mpg.de/de/veranstaltungen/konferenzen-und-workshops/2010/infgeo.html> ). The aim of the conference is to highlight recent developments within the field of information geometry and to identify new directions of research. To this end, the conference will bring together leading experts in the field. It will consist of invited talks and poster sessions representing theoretical work as well as work within one of the many application fields where information geometry plays a role. The number of participants is limited (~100) because of capacity of the conference venue.
