About the "Stammtisch"-Meeting
The style of our Stammtisch is rather relaxed. Prof. de Vries will give a short talk, where he is more or less free to choose his topic. Usually our speakers tell us about their career, then their research and related issues.
After the presentation we have an informal discussion with the speaker, followed by an apéro.
Attendance is free of charge. Please register with an email to info@sarma.ch.
