The PITA Seminar, short for Problems I Think About, is a joint algebra and topology seminar at NTNU. The seminar aims to be a platform where phd-students, post-docs and permanent employees can present and discuss problems they think about and have not yet solved. The seminar was originally started in 2020, but went on a long hiatus due to the pandemic.
