About

PhD open lectures for PhD students in mathematics, organized at the University of Warsaw, is a project whose goal is to broaden the choice of courses by inviting top researchers both from other parts of Poland and from abroad to give special lecture series related to their research areas.

We hope that lectures will open new research directions for the participants and create new scientific collaborations.

The audience is not limited to University of Warsaw PhD students. We encourage bachelor and master students, as well as students and researchers from other Polish universities to attend the lectures.
