Seminars
Each focus area begins with an inspirational lecture by an international guest and is followed by a workshop, during which researchers from all disciplines are welcome to explore research ideas related to the theme. The first workshop in the series will discuss the concept of existential sustainability. Our hope is that these activities will provide a platform for launching future project ideas and collaborations.
