The aim is to mimic the Kan seminar: participants delivering 50-minute talks that focus on classical papers related to algebraic stacks. When referring to classical papers, we tend to consider those listed in Section 5 of Jarod Alper's A Guide To The Literature On Algebraic Stacks. (Talks related to differentiable stacks are also welcome.)
