Aims and scopes
Convex geometry is, in simple terms, the study of compact and convex subsets (convex bodies) of the n dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb R^n\). A comprehensive picture of this subject is offered by the monograph: Convex bodies: The Brunn-Minkowski theory, (Cambridge University Press, 2014, second expanded edition), by Schneider.
The origins of convex geometry can be traced back in the fundamental works of Brunn, Minkowski, Blaschke, and Aleksandrov, from the end of the 19th and the early 20th century. In the second part of the last century, crucial developments in the theory were made through the contributions of Gruber, Hadwiger, Lutwak, McMullen, V. Milman, Schneider, and many others. Based on their work, a new generation of mathematicians is nowadays exploring new directions of research, in the various areas that compose the field.
This meeting aims at bringing together leading experts in convex geometry and in the theory of PDEs and young researchers who are starting to work in convex geometry.

The (in-person) participation to the meeting is by invitation only. However, we plan to stream the conference also online. If you are interested in attending the meeting online, please contact the organising committee.
