Virtual Seminars
PEN organises online seminars to discuss research contributions from PEN members as well as from external speakers. The seminars usually last 90 min and can take different formats, for example a research presentation followed by discussion or short contributions discussing a topic from different perspectives.
Details on upcoming seminars will be announced through the mailing list. External participants are welcome to join. Contact us to register.
We are always looking for new suggestions. Please contact us if you want to present your research or have an idea for a seminar topic.
