Heidelberg Geometry Seminars and related events
Winter semester 2020/21


The Geometry Seminar (GS) is the common seminar of the Differential Geometry Group and the Symplectic Geometry Group. It takes place on Tuesdays, usually at 13:00.

The Differential Geometry Seminar (DGS) takes place on Thursdays at 14:00.

The Symplectic Geometry Seminar (SGS) takes place via Zoom on Wednesdays at 11:15. Please join Müsli to receive the link per email.

The RTG Colloquium (RTG) is organized together with people from Karlsruhe. Please note that this year, the colloquium is separate from the RTG days.
It takes place via Zoom on Tuesdays, starting at 2:00 with a get together with the speaker, at 2:30 is a coffee break followed by the talk at 3:00.
More details about the RTG Colloquium can be found here.

Additional events are listed in the second table.

Please contact one of the organizers Jan Swoboda, Lucas Dahinden or Irene Seifert if you would like to suggest a speaker, or if you want an event promoted on this webpage.
