Each day there are various mathematical events in Bonn. They address professors, postdocs, students, and the general public.
We offer three lecture series specifically designed for PhD and postdoctoral students. The Plücker Lectures include an introdution to a research field followed by a lecture on recent research achievements; the Felix Klein Lectures and the Lipschitz Lectures are series of at least three research lectures on topics in pure and applied mathematics, respectively.
