The colloquium takes place on Thursdays from 15:30 to 16:30, in room 611
of the Hans Freudenthal building,
formerly known as the Wiskunde/Maths building, (campus De Uithof) Budapestlaan 6, Utrecht. The lecture is preceded by coffee, tea, and cookies from 15.00 to 15.30, in the same room.
If you will be giving a talk in the colloquium, please take some time to read the guidelines for speakers.
