15 minutes before the lecture, only a few seats were available at the HC Ørsted Institute's largest auditorium - and they were reserved for faculty of the department, the board members of the Danish Mathematical Society, and selected guests.

The auditorium can seat 400 people, but with 500 participants, several had to sit on the stairs or stand up.
