Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The Summer School "Functional inequalities and geometric variational problems" aims to introduce young researchers at PhD and postdoc level, including interested master students, to some topics on the forefront of current research in the analysis of geometric variational problems. A main focus will be on functional inequalities and their symmetry, rigidity and stability properties.

The School will take place from September 13-17, 2027, at Goethe University Frankfurt, Campus Riedberg. There will be three mini-courses of 4 x 90 minutes delivered by:

- Dorin Bucur, Université de Savoie,

- Rupert Frank, LMU München,

- João P. Ramos, IMPA Rio de Janeiro.

In addition, participants will have the opportunity to give short talks and poster presentations.

Participation in the summer school is free of charge. Financial support for travel and accommodation for young researchers will be available. Details are to follow and registration will open soon.
