The topology seminar at QUB is modelled after the “Kan seminar” at MIT. The goal is for participants to read and assimilate information from research papers and present the content of these papers. The main goal is to foster a good atmosphere, and to encourage discussion between the participants. As such, each speaker may choose to talk on any topic they wish. The hope is that this exposes us to a wide range of material, and allows each speaker to give a talk on a topic they are enthusiastic about.
