Annual Seminars, dedicated to topics relevant to the objectives of the course, are organized on a rotating basis by partner universities. These provide an opportunity for teachers and students from different institutions to meet in order to discuss their research. During these meetings students from all Partner Universities present their ongoing research for discussion and the more advanced ones may be invited to give a lecture. Furthermore, each time a particular topic is tackled in special sessions or round tables with the participation of teaching staff from the eight collaborating institutions.
