The Atlantic Graph Theory seminar series is aimed at the graph theory research community in Atlantic Canada, but accessible to everyone that is interested. The audience includes graduate students and postdocs, and we are aiming to have talks that are accessible to this audience. The seminar series is usually virtual, although there may be in-person lectures by local speakers which will then be broadcast to a remote audience.

Seminars will take place on Wednesday from 3:40-4:30 Atlantic time online via zoom. If you would like to give a talk or attend, please email the organizer.

Organizers: Jeannette Janssen (Dalhousie) and Jordan Barrett (Dalhousie)
