Thematic Programme: Non-regular Spacetime Geometry: from Synthetic Geometry to Mathematical Physics
October 4, 2027 — November 26, 2027, ESI Boltzmann Lecture Hall
Faculty of Mathematics, Boltzmanngasse 9, 1090 Vienna
The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) will host a Thematic Programme closely related to our research, including several workshops and schools, to be announced in due course. The programme will be organized by Melanie Graf (U Hamburg), Raquel Perales (U Vienna/CIMAT, Guanajuat), Chiara Rigoni (U of Vienna), Christina Sormani (CUNY, New York) and Sumati Surya (RRI, Bangalore).
For further information and updates visit the event webpage.

Wir waren bei der “Lange Nacht der Forschung” (LNF26)
“Wie hilft uns die Mathematik, die Geheimnisse der Raum-Zeit zu entschlüsseln?”
Was haben Pizza und Flugrouten mit Schwarzen Löchern zu tun? Was passiert, wenn die Raumzeit von der Schwerkraft zerrissen wird, und wie sieht die Welt aus, wenn du dich mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit bewegst? Keine Ahnung?
Geometrie, die Krümmung der Raumzeit und wie uns die Mathematik hilft das alles zu verstehen, das konnten die Besucher auf unserem Stand bei der langen Nacht der Forschung erfahren.

February 11: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Representing women in science, two of our team members, Inés Vega González and Marta Sálamo Candal, among others, talk about their work.
February 11 is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, established by the UN in 2015. It celebrates achievements, promotes equal access to STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and draws attention to the underrepresentation of women in research.In our project Chiara Rigoni and Raquel Perales have a leading role as PIs and researchers in their field.
