Graduate Seminar (Bielefeld)

Time & Location

We meet every Thursday at 11:00 AM (sharp) in M4-122/126.

Each week, someone will share their favourite math with us in a 60-minute talk, followed by a discussion in a friendly and open environment of fellow PhD students and postdocs. Coffee, hot water for tea, and cookies are available throughout.

Afterwards, everyone is welcome to join us for lunch at the Mensa. We will meet at 12:30 PM in front of the Westend/Pool bar.
