Departmental Seminar
Departmental Seminars are research seminars which focus on the field of our guest speakers who come from universities all over the world to spend a day or two with us. Meetings with the seminar speakers are an important component of the Departmental Seminar. PhD students, in particular those in their third or fourth year, should use this unique opportunity to talk about their work.
Monday - 14:45 - 16:45.
The Departmental Seminar series is organised by Johannes Boehm and Jeanne Commault.
