KTH/SU Mathematics Colloquium

The colloquium is held on Wednesdays at 4 pm and alternates between KTH (odd weeks) and SU (even weeks). At KTH it is usually held in room 3721 (tea is served at 3:30 in the lunch room), and at SU it is usually held in building 5, room 14.

If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, contact the local organizers Pär Kurlberg (KTH) or Boris Shapiro (SU).

Directions to: KTH SU.
