MMGS PhD Seminar
The MMGS PhD Seminar is an event with two goals in mind: first, give a platform for fun, experimental maths talks, where PhD students can share a problem they find interesting, a point of view on something, an introduction to their research area which would be considered "too easy" for other seminars; it is also an occasion to meet other PhD students and share common experiences. We especially encourage new PhD students to join!
The Seminar builds on two values. One, that maths should be fun: the seminar is open to all mathematical talks that come with a flavour of genuine interest and enthusiasm. The difficulty of the topic is irrelevant, as long as the talk is accessible to the diverse backgrounds of the other PhD students. If you think it might be fun, give it a try! Two, that maths is not a competitive sport, it is a community effort: the event aims to be free of any judgement or artificial pressure (we understand being on a stage is not easy!). It is therefore a great place to get comfortable with giving talks, trying out new ways to present maths and broaden your mathematical horizon.
If you want to give a talk in the next version of the seminar or help organizing it, don't hesitate to get in touch with your PhD representatives!
