About

This is a seminar with a new format. In 2020 a lot of seminars and conferences changed to virtual events, keeping us up to date with the current research. However, most of the talks on such seminars and conferences are 20-30 minutes, at most one hour long. Sometimes this is not enough time to introduce technical details to the broader audience. We feel that a series of good in-depth theoretical lectures are important with long term benefits to our community.

Therefore, we have decided to organise the Friday Afternoon Seminar, with the following properties:

• presenting theory with mathematical connections, connected to our community field;
• presented by an excellent speaker, expert in the area, but the content does not have to be a result of the speaker;
• with a focus on one or two techniques rather than a survey or a sequence of results;
• preferably connected to some interesting open problem;
• organised only five times a year: every first or second Friday around 14:00 (Warsaw time zone) of even numbered months (except for August in the summer).
