The Monday Meetings (2022/2023)

Click here for the current academic year.

The Monday meetings of the Algorithms Group of the University of Verona take place every Monday at 5 p.m. (Italian time), and have been taking place online (zoom) since March 2020. We have decided to stick to the online mode (zoom), since several of our regular members are physically in other places (in other cities, in other countries, or even on other continents!)

Working language is English. If you are interested in participating, send me an email.

The person in charge of coordinating the meetings is Francesco Masillo (francesco dot masillo at univr dot it).
