When and where
Tuesdays, 10:00-11:30, BZ09, 9th floor, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1.

We plan to meet in person, if at all possible. Access is solely regulated by the current University prescriptions. Still, participants might voluntary consider getting tested on the previous day. In-person participation is rewarded by coffee (bring your cup).

On the other hand, everybody is welcome to connect remotely via zoom, if preferred. Just mail ulisse.stefanelli@univie.ac.at to receive the link.
What
This is the weekly scientific-discussion meeting of the research group on 'Applied Maths and Modeling', as well as of other members of the Viennese Calculus of Variations community. The seminar will offer the opportunity of getting in touch with classical themes and recent developments in the Calculus of Variations.

All participants are welcome to contribute by presenting a topic and by taking part in informal discussions.
Occasionally, scientific guests will also be invited to present.

Each student participant will be required to participate to most weekly meetings and to deliver a very well-prepared presentation (25-35 min.) on a preassigned topic.

The seminar is held in English.
The Schedule
The schedule and the contents of the seminar will be flexible and constantly updated: There will be no mantained moodle-page for this seminar. All relevant info will be published here.
