Café Club

Rationale

Informal presentation of about 20-25 minutes followed by a 5-10 minutes discussion. The content could be some new results or ideas related to past, on-going or future projects in stellar, galactic, and extragalactic physics, and cosmology. Visitors are kindly invited to participate and give a presentation. Last-year PhD students with rewarded publications and post-docs are encouraged to participate and contribute talks.

When

Every Wednesday at 3:00 pm on zoom or in hybrid mode (in person and on zoom). If on zoom only, the seminar is broadcast in Lavande or Mistral rooms at LAM.
