The colloquium is going to take place every last Friday of the month at 13.00 CET/CEST and will consist of a ca. 30 minute presentation as well as a discussion. A link to the zoom meeting is shared each month via a mailing list. Attendance is free of charge. Please contact me, René Westerhausen, if you would like to join the mailing list. Reserve the dates and spread the word!
