The maths department "Research Day" aims to support research and increase cohesion between various research groups of the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Join us and listen to the in-person talks by your fellows (junior/senior) and take a break with coffee breaks and lunch. At the end of the event in the afternoon we will meet for a happy hour with wine and soft drinks.

THE REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN. Simply follow the link below to register.

The event will be held in the SCOTT LOGIC LECTURE THEATRE on the ground floor of the Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science Building. Coffee and lunch breaks will take place in the Flexible Space next to the cafe on the ground floor. The happy hour will be held on the 3rd floor street. 

 

All talks will be given in person.
