Main seminar of the Doppler Institute, meeting mostly on Tuesday afternoons, usually in the main building in Břehová 7, but switching occasionally between different places. The earlier history of the seminar can be found here. Absence of an affiliation usually means that the speaker is a regular member of the seminar.
