Seminar Series

An original venue for training

Noria launched its roundtables to keep up with new research in the making. The monthly meetings allow students to present on their work and to discuss their research techniques with more experienced colleagues. Noria supports young researchers in a constructive environment in order to train them in various research practices, such as field studies, structuring of scientific analyses, and publication in innovative formats. Ever since the launch of the roundtables, over fifty young researchers have presented their works at the events.
