The international conference “Branching processes and their applications” was held from 18 to 23 September 2023 in Tashkent (18, 19, and 22 September) and Samarkand (20 and 21 September) in Uzbekistan. It was organized by the V. I. Romanovsky Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, the National University of Uzbekistan named after M. Ulugbek, and the Samarkand State University named after Sharof Rashidov.

The following topics of the theory of branching processes and related fields were discussed at the conference: discrete and continuous branching processes and trees; branching random walks; branching processes in a random environment; fragmentation and coalescence; various models of branching processed used in biology, physics, and other sciences; stochastic analysis; stochastic dynamical systems.

More than 80 researchers from 21 countries participated in the conference, including participants from Azerbaijan, Brasil, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia, Spain, USA, Uzbekistan, and other countries.

Eighteen plenary talks were given, which reflected the current trends in the development of the theory of branching processes, namely, population models with interaction and/or mutation of particles; branching processes evolving in an unfavorable random environment; branching processes close to critical and their connection with Markov chains subject to small drifts; processes of fragmentation and coalescence of particles; bisexual branching processes, and some other topics. Also 28 talks were delivered in sections, and there were 10 poster presentations.

September 21 was reserved for acquainting with some ancient architectural monuments of Samarkand and the historical and entographic park “Bokiy Shahar” (Eternal City), whose opening had been timed to the Samarkand Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Septermber 2022.

During the round table organized on 22 September the participants indicated new prospective directions of research in the theory of branching processes and expressed their wish to hold a similar conference in Tashkent and Samarkand in 2026.
