Our Departmental Seminars are a vital component of the department’s intellectual life, offering a platform for faculty and PhD students to present their ongoing research. Held weekly, these seminars foster an environment of rigorous academic exchange and provide valuable opportunities for academic growth and collaboration.
Seminar Highlights:
- Weekly Presentations: Every Wednesday from 13:30 to 15:10, our faculty and PhD students present their latest research. These sessions are an excellent opportunity to engage with the department's ongoing projects.
- International Scholars: In addition to our internal community, we regularly host talks by prominent scholars from around the world. These sessions allow our students and faculty to engage with leading thinkers in the field of political science, discuss emerging research trends, and receive feedback on their work from an international audience.
- Interactive Discussions: The seminars encourage interactive discussions, allowing participants to provide feedback and insights, thereby enriching the research presented.
