DK Closing Event

To celebrate nearly 15 years of our successful FWF-funded doctoral program, we are organizing a one-day event with an invited talk by a distinguished discrete mathematician and short presentations by former and current students of our doctoral school. The speakers come from both academia and industry and reflect the breadth of fields in which our former student pursue their careers.

When: May 24, 2024, 08:45-17:00
Where: BE01, Steyrergasse 30
