Talks

Here we list talks and presentations given by the FocuStat participants, including also those from 2013 of relevance for the 2014-2019 project. Since FocuStat somehow lives on, even after project completion January 2019, these lists of talks are kept, continued, updated, and often with links to slides, or to the workshop or conference in question. Similar comments apply to our list of publications.

There's always an element of polite excitement in the hall when one of us is about to give a lecture.
