Tuesday, June 30, 2026 – Thursday, July 2, 2026
Analysis and optimization on Riemannian manifolds is a rapidly growing field with deep connections to PDEs, differential geometry, and computational mathematics. Its scope encompasses highly relevant applications such as shape analysis and optimization, matrix completion, and many others. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working at the intersection of analysis and optimization on manifolds and showcase their contributions on this challenging and vibrant area. It will also offer a supportive environment for early-career researchers to present their work, exchange ideas and build lasting professional networks.
Participants:
We welcome women researchers at various stages in their careers (from graduate student to senior researcher) from all over the world to foster research collaboration and mentorship. Additionally, also men and non-binary people are welcome to participate in the workshop.

Getting to the workshop venue:
By airplane:
- Hamburg has an international airport, which is located conveniently in the northern part of the city of Hamburg. You can use public transport (S-Bahn) to get from the airport to any other part of the city, including the workshop venue (see below).
By train:
- Take a train to Hamburg central station (German: Hamburg Hauptbahnhof). You can then use public transport to get from the central station to any other part of the city, including the workshop venue (see below).
By car:
- You can use navigation to get to the address of the venue.
- While there is no free nor paid public parking lot close by, there is limited street parking available around the venue.
By public transport:
You may plan your journey individually using the official website of the public transport provider at https://www.hvv.de or using the HVV mobile phone app. You can use the bus stop “Rentenversicherung Nord”, the U-Bahn stop Trabrennbahn, or the address of the venue “Friedrich-Ebert-Damm 245” as destination. We provide some exemplary routes in the following:
- From the airport, take the S-Bahn S1 in the direction of Blankenese or Wedel. Get off at the stop Friedrichsberg. From Friedrichsberg, take the bus 16 in the direction of Rentenversicherung Nord and get off at the last stop. Walk to the venue (approx. 3 minutes).
- From Hamburg central station, there are three options, of which we recommend the last option if the weather permits and you do not have any (heavy) luggage with you:
- Take the S-Bahn S1 in the direction of Hamburg Airport/Poppenbüttel and get off at the stop Friedrichsberg. Take the bus 16 in the direction of Rentenversicherung Nord (see above).
- Take the U-Bahn (Metro) U1 in the direction of Farmsen, Volksdorf, Ohlstedt or Großhansdorf. Get off at the stop Straßburger Straße and take the bus 16 in the direction of Rentenversicherung Nord (see above) or the bus 171 in the direction of U Farmsen or Thomas-Mann-Straße. Get off at the station Rentenversicherung Nord.
- Take the U-Bahn (Metro) U1 in the direction of Farmsen, Volksdorf, Ohlstedt or Großhansdorf. Get off at Trabrennbahn and walk approx. 10 minutes to the venue.
