> Please do not hesitate to suggest potential speakers for the seminar. The
+ focus
> of the seminar is transformation of Eastern Europe and its impact on Western

> approach can fruitfully contribute to our knowledge. We therefore would not

+ tools

> The seminar always takes place on Thursdays from 4 pm to 7 pm.
> Please do not hesitate to participate and join the discussion about the
> most far reaching changes in this century in Europe with a positive outlook
> for the next century.
