The 21st SEFI SIG in Mathematics seminar is to be held on 11-14 June 2023 in Finland.
The Propedeutic Center of EPFL is organising a local hub at EPFL, with retransmission of the conference and discussions with local collaborators.
The reasons for this local event are:
- Networking: people interested in teaching mathematics in the western part of Switzerland can meet and discuss together;
- Participating: since the conference is happening during exam period for most swiss universities, it allows for some participants to join the conference without traveling too far;
- Sustainability: To reduce CO2 emissions, by avoiding having Swiss participants flying to Finland when a local hub works just as well.
To participate in this event, registration as an online participant of the MSIG2023 is mandatory
Registration here: https://events.tuni.fi/sefimsig2023/registration/ (the cost is 30 euros)
In addition, please register to the local hub with this form before June 1st: https://forms.gle/DXLWg1dYgEfTvb9s6
The MSIG EPFL local hub is free of charge.
More information about the schedule and place of the local hub will follow.
Contact Simone Deparis or Adélie Garin if you have any questions.
