The lectures for the SMSTC-MSc Geometry and Topology stream will take place on Thursdays from 13:00 to 15:00 using the videoconferencing system.

Well...I don't think this applies to any of our lecturers for the Geometry and Topology stream, but videoconferencing can be a great advantage for some people. Click here to find out!
