Seminar Series
The seminar series is the CCNB's central forum for the exchange of scientific ideas.
During lecture times (during winter and summer term) seminars take place every second Monday between 4.00 pm (sharp) and 5.30 pm. The length of a talk is usually 45 minutes, which is followed by a discussion. Currently, all talks take place ONLINE. The Webex links will be circulated by the mailing list some days before the seminar.

Recordings of lectures
Some (not all) lectures are recorded and will be published on our CCNB Youtube channel. You could find the list of past talks by clicking the "Past Events" button below. Then, you could select the talk, for which you want to watch the video.
