ERC Advanced Grant awarded

GO-Y secures European Research Council funding (Grant Agreement No. 101199575) to build the theoretical foundations of causality-driven graph data management.

Featured

What If: Causal Analysis with Graph Databases

The foundational result behind GO-Y, published at PVLDB 2025, demonstrates causal “what-if” analysis directly over graph databases — the first step toward causal query operators.

On the horizon

We’re planning a workshop

GO-Y will host a workshop bringing the graph data management and causality communities together to set a shared research agenda for causal graph databases. Date and venue to be announced.

Workshop

Causal Reasoning Meets Graph Data Management

An inaugural GO-Y workshop bringing the database, graph-systems and causality communities together — with keynotes, position talks and an open-problems panel to shape the agenda for causal graph databases.
