From Tuesday to Friday, the programme contains presentations, discussions on the basis of papers and social activities.

This seminar is intended as an intensive intellectual exchange and mutual learning and it offers a possibility to discussion and social interaction. The benefits of the seminar will be fully realized for everyone when participants stay there for its entire duration to take part in all discussions.

It works on the basis of:

  1. dissemination of the papers prior to the seminar
  2. a short presentation by each author of his/her key ideas
  3. comments by a discussant (chosen within the group of participants) followed by
  4. general discussion, when the author can respond to the comments of the discussant and other participants
  5. discussion is intended to assist authors in preparing a revised paper for inclusion in an edited volume of selected papers following the seminar.

Therefore, it is important that everyone has access to all papers and has time to read them.
Submission of abstracts has ended and information on this website is for those accepted to present a paper.
