The conference will feature

- A plenary talk;
- Research talks by faculty and PhD students;
- Panel discussions on: What is mathematics research like? What to do with a PhD in mathematics? How to apply for a PhD in mathematics?
- Networking and mentoring opportunities;

The conference will take place at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Frankfurt and is open to Bachelor and Master students from universities in Germany and neighbouring countries, including international students. It is possible to apply for funding for hotel and/or travel costs in the registration.
