Speakers might talk about their own research, present open problems, give a survey about a specific topic, present a recent paper by other authors, or anything else that is interesting for the participating groups.

usual Time: Tuesday 14:00
usual Room: MA 313/314
Contact Martin Knaack for questions, suggestions, Zoom links, etc.
