Research Colloquia

The ENP group has a series of colloquia in which a staff member of the ENP group, a PhD student or a visitor exchanges his/her work with the audience. These colloquia are usually visited by all staff members, MSc students ready to begin or working on their thesis, and some other interested people. The structure of a colloquium (presentation, discussion/workshop) is decided upon by the lecturer. The aims of this series of colloquia are:

  • to enhance the exchange of ideas between researchers;
  • to offer MSc students the possibility to attend and participate in academic debates about (scientific) work in progress;
  • to provide the lecturer with feedback and comments.

The ENP group welcomes all researchers (beginning as well as experienced) who want to share their work in a Research Colloquium. For more information about research colloquia in the area of Environmental Policy and Social Sciences, please contact Aarti Gupta. For more information about research colloquia in the area of Research Methodology, please contact Hilde Tobi.



Scheduled research colloquia 

The next research colloquium is on Wednesday, April 21, by Bettina Bluemling, ENP

Further details (abstract, title, location) will follow a week before the scheduled talk.
