This interview with Roland Steinbauer has been published by the UV’s public research newspaper Rudolphina.
It is connected with UV’s “semester question “How does quantum research change our reality? There have been three scientists interviewed, the other two being physicists. Roland’s contribution appears towards the end of the article.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from various fields relevant to our project (Optimal Transport, Lorentzian Geometry, General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, …) and to map out open problems and joint interests with our local group in Vienna. Thus the meeting will be centered along short presentations of open problems and new directions of research, followed by extensive open discussions (30 minutes of lectures plus 60 minutes of discussion). Further joint work in smaller groups is strongly encouraged.

Today three new Postdocs Luca Benatti, Davide Carazzato, and Miguel Manzano have joined our team.
The project has started today. Samuel Borza and Karim Mosani have joined the team as PostDocs and Joe Barton and Miguel Prados Abad as Ph.D. students. Also Marta Salamo and Sebastian Gieger have started their Ph.D. studies on topics closely related to the general directions of the project.
Update of 12.07.2024: this call is now closed.
In the research project
A new Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and beyond
which has recently received major funding by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) in the framework of its “Emerging Fields” program (see https://ef-geometry.univie.ac.at), we are currently announcing:
We are very glad to announce that our Emerging Field project on A new Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & Beyond has been approved for funding by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) with an amount of 7 million Euro!
