IAS Weekly Group Meetings

From September 2013, the meetings are coordinated by Yash and Guangliang.

The up-to-date schedule can be found at http://staff.science.uva.nl/~gli/groupmeeting.html.

The aim of this web page is to keep a log of the speakers and topics of the weekly IAS group meetings. These meetings are a way for the group to learn more about each other's work. The presentations are all supposed to be high level and the meetings will be informal with lots of interaction and question asking. The presentations should be no more than 30 minutes long. One can choose to discuss one's own work or alternatively a cool paper from the literature that you think everyone should know about. The current plan is to have the meetings once a week for 1 hour.

When / Where?

In principal the meetings take place in C3.163 on Thursday on 14u00. Exceptions can be found in the schedule.
