Forces of Nature and Human Reactions: how to deal with the consequences of Natural Catastrophes in the Middle Ages?
As part of the French-Czech workshop for historical sciences that CEFRES organized in collaboration with Charles University’s Faculty of Arts in Prague.
The “CEFRES Platform” is glad to invite you to the
RESEARCH FORUM IN HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC. The forum will contribute to draft the CEFRES’s scientific policy and to set in motion European scientific cooperations.
The CEFRES is writing a new page of its history in the wake of the Cooperation Agreement signed on 21 November 2014 between the Embassy of France in the Czech Republic, the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the Charles University (UK) and the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (AV ČR). A Czech-French cooperation platform in the humanities and social sciences, the “CEFRES Platform” was thus initiated between the CEFRES, the UK and the AV ČR. The CEFRES’s scientific policy, that is, its three research orientations, needs be defined after close consultation with its partners in the Czech Republic.
This upcoming April a series of bi-disciplinary gatherings will allow researchers from every field in the humanities and the social sciences to introduce their research topics. Discussions will help coining down potential collaborations with the CEFRES. The new director of the center, Ms. Clara Royer, will outline the perspectives of an institution, which after 25 years of existence, is turning into a key element of the Czech academic milieu.
Schedule of the gatherings (to be updated):
8 April Philosophy / Sociology
