Due to national and university restrictions, all presentations will be held online via Microsoft Teams. The Research Talk Series is open for the public as well. If you are interested in joining, please send an eMail to Mario Freyer (mario.freyer@univie.ac.at). He will send you an invitation link shortly before the talk(s) will start.
