The Stochastics and Optimization Group organises the Stochastics Colloquium, which is a seminar for talks in probability and mathematical statistics. Unless otherwise stated the talks will take place on Thursday mornings at 11h00-12h00 in room 611 at the Mathematical institute, Budapestlaan 6, Utrecht. (How to get there?)
