GoF retreat at CEIM in Castro Urdiales (Spain)

17-21st August 2026
Castro Urdiales (Spain)

The Geometry of Flows collaboration will convene a focused scientific retreat at the Centro Internacional de Encuentros Matemáticos (CIEM) in Castro Urdiales from 17–21 August 2026. This small, intensive meeting—bringing together Svitlana Mayboroda, David Spergel, Guy David, Camillo De Lellis, Max Engelstein, and Raul Jimenez—is designed to foster deep, uninterrupted collaboration on the mathematical foundations of the program. The primary objective will be to consolidate and formalise recent advances within the collaboration toward a rigorous description of complex turbulent phenomena, with particular emphasis on identifying the appropriate analytical frameworks and geometric structures that capture multiscale behavior and emergent flow dynamics. Through a combination of extended working sessions and targeted discussions, the retreat aims to translate ongoing conceptual progress into precise mathematical formulations, setting the stage for future theoretical developments and applications.

Geometry of Flows Meeting at NYU 

15-21st June 2026
New York University
New York, NY, USA

An interdisciplinary meeting of collaborators in the Simons Initiative on the Geometry of Flows, held at NYU in New York City, focused on how physical flows shape mesoscale structures, especially boundaries, surfaces, and interfaces. The program will combine invited talks and workshop-style discussion across mathematics, fluid dynamics, astrophysics, general relativity, holography, and machine learning.

Organized by: NYU; Rutgers State University

GoF retreat at ICC in Barcelona(Spain)

13-17th April 2026
Barcelona (Spain)

Title: "From Numerics to Mathematical Theorems: The Calderon Problem as a testbed."

The Geometry of Flows collaboration will hold a focused scientific retreat at the Institut de Ciències del Cosmos (ICCUB)of the University of Barcelona from 13–17 April 2026 under the title “From Numerics to Mathematical Theorems: The Calderón Problem as a Testbed.” This intensive meeting will bring together Raul Jimenez, Ali Kalout, Leonid Sarieddine, Pablo Tejerina, Pedro Tarancon, Kosio Karchev, Guy David, Max Engelstein, Svitlana Mayboroda, Alberto Pacati, and Pau Sole, with the central goal of bridging recent advances in numerical approaches and rigorous mathematical theory. In particular, the retreat will explore how the remarkable success of machine learning and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) in solving the inverse Calderón problem can be leveraged to formulate precise mathematical theorems, using Bayesian inference as a guiding framework to translate empirical reconstruction accuracy into provable statements. Through a combination of collaborative working sessions and targeted discussions, participants will aim to distill numerical insight into analytic structure, establishing a pathway from data-driven methods to rigorous results in inverse problems.


GoF · Simons Collaboration Retreat 
Explainability in ML Multi-Agent Inference Blackboard Format

02 – 06th March 2026
Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc (Spain)

A focused retreat on explainability in Machine Learning and multi-agent inference, bringing together experts across cosmology, AI, applied mathematics, and industry research to develop principled, interpretable frameworks for complex inference systems.


Research in Groups Meeting

05–12th February 2026
San Juan, Puerto Rico

This "research in groups" meeting will bring together a subset of the PIs for an intense week of work designed to formulate concretely and make substantial progress on the central mathematical goals of the project. Topics will include the study of level sets of turbulent flows, the regularity of solutions to equations with critical lower order terms, geometric measure theoretic descriptions of fractality and the mathematical analysis of free boundary problems. 

Participants include: Svitlana Mayboroda, Max Engelstein, David Spergel, Camillo De Lellis, Guy David.

08-12 January 2026
Simons Foundation
New York, New York 10010, USA

An informal working meeting of GoF collaborators in New York City, focused on small-group discussions and blackboard work on current GoF projects, rather than scheduled talks.
