Despite the lockdown due to the emergency situation, the members of the math department are continuing their daily remote research activities in the best possible way. Web conferencing technologies have made it possible to continue collaborations, both within the department and with external collaborators.

Webinars 

All around the world, the scientific community is organising webinars (web seminars) in order to continue to share the latest research and discuss further directions.

The webpage "mathseminars" collects a list of webinars available online, with all the details to participate and with the possibility of sorting them by topic.
