Humanitas LecturesHumanitas 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. 14th November 2011
