Faculty of Science

Algebraic topology is one of the research areas of the Department of Mathematics at Radboud University represented by Dr Magdalena Kedziorek and Dr Steffen Sagave. The department has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and collaborates with researchers in related areas of algebraic and arithmetic geometry, and representation theory. Moreover algebraic topologists at Radboud University are part of a larger network of Dutch algebraic topologists, who regularly interact and meet for seminars and other events (which currently take place online).
