One of CEFRES’s mission is to train the young researchers welcome at the center.

Since Autumn 2021, CEFRES has launched a new research seminar gathering all its PhD fellows and researchers and open to its young researchers and to MA and PhD students of its partners in the four Visgrad countries.

Through the presentation of works in progress, CEFRES’s Seminar aims at raising and discussing issues about methods, approaches or concepts, in a multidisciplinary spirit, allowing everyone to confront her or his own perspectives with the research presented. The seminar can be led by a single researcher or in pairs, be based on a reading or a document, or welcome an external researcher invited to present particularly inspirative work.
