PhD Students Seminars
The speakers are PhD students (or invited guests). Seminars are held in English, onsite in Professor Wacław Gajewski’s auditorium (Hall E). The presentation lasts up to 20 minutes, the discussion up to 5 minutes. Seminars are held on Thursdays according to the schedule below. There are usually two presentations at a given meeting. The seminars are open, and all employees and PhD students willing to listen to the presentations and participate in the discussion are welcome.
It is the custom that the PhD student’s presentation is announced by the supervisor or auxiliary supervisor.
After the discussion, all PhD students are invited to stay in the hall and continue the discussion with the speakers (up to 20 minutes). However, supervisors and employees are asked to leave the hall.
