Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers (like the Abel prize winners from 2022), hackathons and data challenges. Additionally, we organize and host other regular scientific meetings like reading groups, seminars, collaboration sessions and open-problem sessions. The format is flexible to meet the preferences of the participants.

Iedereen is welkom bij de openbare verdediging van Daphne van Leeuwen van haar proefschrift 'Stochastic Modelling and Control of Road Traffic Congestion'.

LSH Seminar Nadia Pisanti (University Pisa)

22 Jan 2019 from 4 p.m. to 22 Jan 2019 5 p.m. | room L016

Mapping Reads and Palindromic Decomposition on Pan-Genomes

PhD Defence Ewan Cahen (ST)

21 Jan 2019 from 11 a.m. to 21 Jan 2019 12:30 p.m. | College Room 4, Auditorium Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

Everybody is welcome to attend the public defence of Ewan Cahen of his thesis 'Rare-Event Simulation for Multidimensional Stochastic Models'.

Science and Innovation with Thunderstorms (SAINT)

21 Jan 2019 from 9 a.m. to 1 Feb 2019 4 p.m. | Leiden

Thunderstorms continue to pose puzzles to our physical understanding. Transient Luminous Events appear high above thunderclouds, and high energy emissions (gamma-rays, positrons, neutrons) are measured both as longer lasting glows and as flashes. Lightning leader propagation and attachment (possibly with subsequent damage) are another topic of study.
