IPS Belgium Seminar Series 2024-25: Programme
We are pleased to announce the programme of the IPS Belgium Seminar Series 2024-25! The series will run from October 2024 to June 2025, meeting at the VUB Main Campus (Pleinlaan 2, Building C, room 405) and online on the third/fourth Friday of the month, from 4 pm to 5 pm (CET).
In each seminar, one participant introduces their work-in-progress (thesis chapter, book chapter, journal manuscript) to the group and invites a senior academic as discussant. The work-in-progress is also discussed by a junior scholar among the seminar participants. The discussion is followed by questions and answers with the group.
All participants are expected to make every effort to attend the seminars and are expected to have read the papers in advance. Presenters are encouraged to invite their supervisors and colleagues interested in their work.
