European Set Theory Colloquia

In 2022, the European Set Theory Society initiated a series of panel discussions with prominent set theorists that take place online around four times per year.

For each event, three or four experts are invited to describe the general area they represent, explain where the area is heading and discuss how it relates to other areas of set theory and mathematics.
