The Work in Progress Seminars (WIP) are monthly seminars dedicated to the collective discussion of ongoing research (articles, thesis chapters, funding proposals, etc.) in a spirit of exchange, mutual support and scientific collaboration. Organised in a hybrid format and preceded by a social gathering, they provide a regular forum for sharing constructive feedback, fostering collaborations and strengthening ties between the Institute’s researchers.
They will be held on the first Thursday of every month
