METIS hosts a weekly seminar series, alternating between internal and external speakers. Talks are held on Tuesdays at 11:30 (CET) in Sala B, Edificio de Humanidades, UNED. They are also streamed. If you’d like to attend online, get in touch. Alternatively, you can just show up.
The seminar is currently coordinated by Paloma Atencia-Linares and Claudia Picazo.
