RESEARCH SEMINARS

The Research Seminars are part of the García Pelayo Fellowship programme. The Seminars are interdisciplinary and cover the research programmes undertaken under the auspices of the CEPC. Unless otherwise stated, the Seminars take place on Tuesdays at 12.00 in the Sala de Juntas in the Centre’s building at Plaza de la Marina Española 9, Madrid. The Seminars are open to everybody but, for organisational purposes, those who are not members of the CEPC are asked to register via the webpage http://www.cepc.es/actividades.asp. The Seminars focus on a pre-circulated paper, which can be solicited from the Seminar organisers: Amaya Úbeda (aubeda@cepc.es), András Jakab (jakaba@cepc.es) and Lasse Thomassen (lathomassen @cepc.es).
