Conference “Curvature, Optimal Transport, and Gravity”
September 21–25, 2026
Faculty of Mathematics, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna
We are pleased to announce an upcoming conference at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, bringing together communities across Optimal Transport, Metric Geometry, Lorentzian Geometry, General Relativity, and Quantum Gravity.
Further information—including the conference title, invited speakers, schedule, registration, and practical details—will soon be done via the conference webpage.
This conference is funded by the EF A new Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & Beyond, financed by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) (grant number 10.55776/EFP6) and based at the University of Vienna.

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.
