Research seminars

Research seminars are organised in the form of presentations of published scientific articles for the purpose of receiving critical comments for editing and finalizing the text. Recently published studies are presented for further research and the creation of new publications. Lecturers may be invited by other local or foreign university centres, faculty members or doctoral students at the stage of their advanced studies. Research seminars are usually conducted in English and take place on Fridays from 10:00 am.
