| Oct 17, 2021 at 3:25 | comment | added | Dan Ramras | @KConrad When I attended (and for one year, ran) the Kiddie Colloquium at Stanford, it was definitely an all-ages event (ok, all graduate student ages). It was a really good way for younger and older students to interact. Usually people gave talks about their favorite morsels of mathematics from their areas of interest. I still remember some of the talks. It was fun, engaging, and I think it helped to broadened our perspectives. | |

| Oct 15, 2021 at 14:09 | comment | added | Jeremy Rickard | Bristol has a Mathematics Postgraduate Seminar, which is entirely run by postgraduates. But I think it’s been on a bit of a hiatus during the pandemic. | |

| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:40 | comment | added | KConrad | When a math department is mostly focused on pure math then of course the talks in it will mostly be in pure math. That is why the titles you see in the links I gave are mostly about pure math. | |
| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:36 | comment | added | KConrad | Stanford has the Kiddie Colloquium aimed at first-year grad students (could non-first years really not be allowed to attend?): mathematics.stanford.edu/events/kiddie-colloquium. Cornell has the Olivetti club: pi.math.cornell.edu/m/event-list-p/olivetti. The University of Connecticut has the SIGMA Seminar: math.uconn.edu/sigma-past-talks. | |
| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:20 | comment | added | aglearner | @KConrad thanks a lot for your comment. Yes, "successful seminar" is one that exists. Thanks a lot for giving a link, I'll have a look. Though, it looks a bit like it is more in pure maths, judging by the titles? | |

| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:18 | comment | added | aglearner | Dear Wojowu, many thanks for your comment! I agree with you, I don't know places in the UK that do this. Maybe there is something in the US. There is a plan to create such a seminar at your university and this question is prompted by my attempt to understand whether this can be done in principle. As for junior seminars in London, yes I know more or less how they are organized | |
| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:16 | comment | added | KConrad | Does “successful” just mean that such a seminar merely exists? I am sure numerous departments have such a seminar. Harvard’s math department calls theirs the trivial notions seminar. See people.math.harvard.edu/~barkley/trivial/trivial_2020-2021.html for the schedule during 2020-2021 and links to earlier years. Ohio State has a “What Is…?” Seminar: math.osu.edu/whatis_previous | |
| Oct 15, 2021 at 13:14 | comment | added | Wojowu | I am not aware of a seminar satisfying your desired criteria - most of them are specialized to some branch e.g. number theory or mathematical physics. In the UK at least these are commonly called "junior seminars", if you want to take a look at those, looking for either junior number theory or geometry on Google will return some results. I am myself currently running the London Junior Number Theory seminar, and if you would like to chat about some details, drop me an email. | |
