Humanitas has a regular schedule of scientific seminars and lectures open to all the staff
and students. These Institute seminars are presented by members of the scientific staff or by
invited Italian and foreign scientists.
Since September 2005, fifty seminars by invited external speakers have been held, most of
which (90%) by foreign scientists. The seminars are regularly given in English. There are also
informal laboratory meetings consisting of individual presentations of research results by PhD
students or Post Docs. Laboratory meetings are not restricted to components of the own laboratory
but are open to other laboratory components interested in a topic. Also these seminars are given in
English.
Scientific courses on specific topics are organized on a regular basis in Humanitas or in
collaboration with other scientific Institutes.
