#EoI – Leveraging Megatrends and Systems Thinking – TU Wien

27/02/2026 Date: 28 April 2026

Speaker: Valerie-Sophie Schoenberg

Date and time: April 28, 2026, 13:00 – 16:00 CET

Location: TU Wien Innovation Incubation Center

Language: English

Open for members of EULiST universities (sign up using your university email address)

Why you should join:

Join this Masterclass and learn new methods to position your research work within broader trends.

Megatrend mapping and systems thinking are powerful tools that enable scientists to anticipate changes, spot emerging opportunities, and navigate the complex interconnections that shape their fields. These methods help researchers position their work within broader trends, giving them an edge in adapting to future challenges. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how understanding megatrends and thinking in systems can open up new possibilities in your specific area of research. You will learn to map the wider context of your field, uncover key influences and connections, and identify strategic opportunities to drive positive change through your work —rather than simply assuming there is one path-dependent future that will unfold regardless.

Title: An institution-theoretic account of bisimilarity

Speaker: Dr Ionuț Țuțu
IMAR Romanian Academy

Abstract: The concept of bisimulation originates from Johan van Benthem’s early work on correspondence theory, where it was introduced under name of p-relation, and later as a zigzag relation. Within that context, bisimulations have allowed for a now famous characterization of conventional modal logic as a fragment of first-order logic. Independently, and around the same time, bisimulations had also been discovered in computer science, where they have been used, notably by David Park, Matthew Hennessy, and Robin Milner, to deal with processes that are behaviourally equivalent, meaning that their behaviours cannot be distinguished by some external observer. Since then, the concept has been adapted many times, both in logic and in computer science, to suit various modal languages or process calculi. Most, if not all, of those languages and calculi can be captured in institution theory using the so-called stratified institutions introduced by Răzvan Diaconescu, Petros Stefaneas, and Marc Aiguier in order to deal with models with states. In this talk, we will revisit the classical notions of bisimulation and bisimilarity. Then, taking inspiration from coalgebraic studies of the subject, we will rephrase them in the abstract context of stratified institutions. We will re-examine the conventional relationship between bisimilarity and elementary equivalence, discuss some institution-theoretic abstractions of other
key related concepts, and show how they work together to bring forth several Hennessy-Milner results for stratified institutions.

Bio: Ionuț Țuțu is a researcher at the Simion Stoilow Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy (IMAR). He finished his PhD in logic-independent foundations of logic programming at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, under the supervision of José Luiz Fiadeiro. Before that, he undertook a Master by Research in Logic and Formal Specifications from the Department of Mathematics at the Postgraduate Academic Studies School “Școala Normală Superioară București”, where he started working with Răzvan Diaconescu. His research expertise generally lies within the areas of universal logic, algebraic specification, logic programming, and formal software development, often making use of category theory and of abstract model theory.
