Seminars are regular events that take place approximately every two months and to which the doctoral coordinator or a member of the doctoral committee invites outstanding researchers from the international scientific community to present results on specific topics and of interest for the doctoral course. These sessions usually consist of a lecture followed by an interactive discussion that allows doctoral students to ask questions, provide critical feedback and express their curiosity in order to gain a deeper understanding of the topic and enrich their cultural background. The overarching goal of these seminars is to foster critical thinking and reasoning skills while providing a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approach to scientific knowledge, which is the quintessence of gaining the scientific and technical competencies required to carry out extensive research and professional development.

Participation in the seminars is mandatory for doctoral students throughout the three-year program, regardless of their clinical and research commitments.

Here the seminar organizers can find the guidelines for proposing and organizing a seminar.
