CEFRES’s monthly seminar aims at fulfilling CEFRES’s mission to train PhD students and young researchers. Since Autumn 2021, CEFRES gathers in a Research Seminar all its PhD fellows and researchers opened to young researchers and to MA and PhD students of its partners, within “CEFRES Platform” and in the four Visegrad countries.

Presentations focus on the conceptual and methodological framework of each research. Thus it seems that presenting at first an objective set for the project, then its concept & method, finally the corpus / sources / field enables to formulate an in-depth insight of each research work and collect fruitful feed-back.

Location: CEFRES Library and online
