The archive of all our previous seminars
After every seminar, whether you were present or not, you want to come here! You will find all the information about each seminar below, including a fantastic blog. In this blog you will find highlights of the key points of the talks, useful resources for everyday PhD life and some food for thoughts from our biweekly conversations. Notice that the conversations had during our seminars are mostly unrelated to the research title of the talk. They are actually related to challenges in Academia and PhD life.
Moreover, if the speaker allows to record, the recording of the session is uploaded on Youtube, and available to access from our YouTube channel. Each blog is also posted on Twitter/X and Bluesky, and we encourage you to add your thoughts there!
