Research Forum
The department holds an annual Research Forum consisting of talks or seminars given by external renowned academics and also invited UPF-DCPIS lecturers and researchers. The speakers use the forum to discuss innovative lines of research and theoretical inquiry, report on particular projects and research results, and discuss the application of new methodologies to specific fields.
The main goals of the Research Forum are to:
- Foster a fruitful dialogue and exchange of ideas among those attending the talks.
- Contribute to the academic training and socialization of our PhD and Master students.
- Invigorate the internal climate and culture of the department.
- Strengthen the academic reputation of UPF-DCPIS internationally.
Research Forum talks will take place on Thursdays 12-1:30 PM (rooms TBA) and are open to all DCPIS members and beyond (online registration to the talks will be required for all attendees).
The confirmed lineup for the 2022-2023 academic year includes the following 8 speakers:
