Lectures

ISA Lectures are delivered on a weekly basis by the international ISA Visiting of the Institute.
Talks are in English and are usually held in the University of Bologna. As a rule, ISA Lectures are suitable for an educated, though non-expert, audience, and have the aim to pique the interest of people belonging to different fields since the Institute encourages interdisciplinary and mind-open approaches to knowledge.

PhD students and researchers who are interested may request an attendance certificate.
