The Praxis Seminar — Research Colloquium in Practical Philosophy is the central research seminar of the Practical Philosophy Research Group. It features lectures and presentations by distinguished national and international scholars, invited to share their latest work. The seminar is designed as a forum for in-depth philosophical discussion, offering a cross-cutting perspective on a wide range of topics, and fostering an enriching environment for academic exchange. Meetings take place every Tuesday during the academic year, from 17h00 to 19h00, structured as a 45-minute presentation followed by a one-hour Q&A session. Typically, a dinner with the speaker follows each session.
