13–17 Jul 2026
Chemistry Building
Europe/London timezone

A workshop which will bring together international experts in metric geometry, analysis and probability.  It falls under the frameworks of the UK Metric Geometry and Analysis Network (supported by the LMS), the COST action "multiscale Stochastics, Patterns, and Analysis of Combinatorial Environments (mSPACE)" and the Emerging Fields project "A new Geometry for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity & Beyond" of the Austrian Science Fund.  

The workshop will focus on topics which include:

  •    Alexandrov spaces
  •    Gromov-Hausdorff convergence
  •    Manifolds with lower curvature bounds
  •    Metric measure spaces
  •    RCD spaces
  •    Sub-Riemannian geometry
  •    Lorentzian geometry
  •    Geometric PDEs

Arrival Information

The nearest train station is Durham (DHM), which is 10-15 minutes from the centre of the city.

All talks will take place in the Chemistry building, which is about 20-25 minutes away from the city centre on foot.  

Here's a map showing the Chemistry building to the south of the city centre, and the train station to the north on the west of the river.

On-campus Accommodation

We expect to have access to a number of ensuite rooms on campus, including breakfast, for the duration of the workshop. More information will be made available soon..
