Introducing B.O.W.L. a new on-line geometry seminar

Together with geometry groups from Oxford, Warwick and London we have started a new on-line geometry seminar series, called B.O.W.L. The talks will take place via Zoom, on Tuesdays at 2.45pm (Belgian time). To receive the link you should join the B.O.W.L. mailing list.

You can find out more about the seminar, including the scheduled talks and information on the organisers, from the seminar web-page.

Getting here

The department of mathematics is in building NO, on the Campus de la Plaine, of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The geometry group is on the 7th floor. This map shows NO, as well as the metro station Delta and entrance 2, which is right by the stop for the number 71 and 72 buses. The number 95 also stops a short walk from the department. See the STIB website for more information on public transport in Brussels.
