PROGRAM
Morning session:
The speakers will give an overview over their research or present a specific research topic, possibly suitable for a PhD (maybe yours!). Various fields of mathematics are represented, giving everyone the opportunity to find interesting topics. (You can already have a look at the titles and abstracts!)

Afternoon session:
The afternoon session will consists of two panel discussions with speakers from the morning sessions. Depending on the specialisation, the research group one is working in and further taking into account many other factors, every PhD can be experienced differently! In the panel discussions a broad overview is given with the experience of the participants, also directed by your specific questions, which you can submit here.
