Leiden University
Colloquium Ehrenfestii

initiated by Paul Ehrenfest in 1912
currently organized by Koenraad Schalm (read about its history)

Meal reservation form (only accessible from leidenuniv.nl domain)

Abstract


The Colloquium Ehrenfestii takes place Wednesday evenings starting at 19:30 hours in the main auditorium of the Oort building. Before the Colloquium, there is a common dinner in the canteen located on the ground floor of the Oort building. This dinner starts at 18:00 hours sharp and is free of charge, under the condition that one attends the colloquium and that one has made a reservation before noon on the Tuesday preceding the colloquium.

The registration form is only accessible from within the University (to block spammers); if you would like to register for the dinner from outside the University, please send an email to fran@lorentz.leidenuniv.nl

After 6 pm the revolving doors of the Oort building, approached by the long bridge alongside the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, are locked and one should instead use the sliding doors directly adjacent to the Huygens building: these can be opened with an electronic key (seek help from locals).
