Weekly Seminars

In our weekly seminars, we not only present our current projects, research results, dissertations and theses, but also invite external experts to selected lectures.

The seminars take place during the lecture period on Thursday at 4:00 pm in Bldg. 50.40, room 157.

Guests are very welcome !
