This semester, our seminars will be conducted in a hybrid format, with both in-person and Zoom participation. All in-person presentations will be held in room Kelvin, where staff on campus will have the opportunity to attend these sessions directly. Most presentations are scheduled for Fridays at 3:00 PM CET, though it is worth noting that certain variations may arise due to participation of speakers across various time zones. To ensure you don't miss out, kindly refer to the schedule for any updates.
The schedule for the seminars is presented below. The seminars are typically a 30 minute presentation, with addittional 10-15 minutes for questions and discussion.
Please note that the time and date of the seminars might be changed, so make sure to check the schedule below for any updates.
