The Monday meetings (2019/2020)

Click here for the current academic year.

The Monday meetings of the Algorithms Group take place on Monday afternoons. Usually, we meet every Monday or every other Monday, for about an hour. Working language is English or Italian, according to the choice of the speaker and the participants.


Spring Semester 2020

As of March 2020, the Monday meetings of the Algorithms Group, like all other meetings, are taking place online. The meeting time is Mondays from 5 to 6 p.m., via zoom. If you are interested in participating, send me an email.
