Each session will be divided into two parts. The first part (10am-2pm) will be an in-depth presentation and discussion by the learning scientists on the state of the art about their research, a central topic in the field. The second part of the seminar (3.30pm-7.00pm) will consist of a dialogue between the researcher and all the participants. This scientific dialogue will be grounded in readings selected by the scholar to ensure updated and relevant scientific discussion. The readings will be sent to the participants two weeks in advance.

The enrolment includes lunch.
