At CWTS we have a long tradition of organizing research seminars in which speakers present their research in the area of science studies and discuss their work with the audience. The seminar normally takes place on Friday, 15.00-16.15h (CET/CEST). Presentations are given in English.
About the CWTS Research Seminar
Inclusive hybrid format: the CWTS seminars have a hybrid format, enabling anyone to join without the need to travel. Speakers may either give a presentation at CWTS in person or may present virtually by joining us remotely.
Open to all: The CWTS seminar is open to anyone with an interest in science studies research. There’s no need to register. You can join online using the MS Teams link provided in the announcement of each seminar, or in person by joining us in the common rooms at CWTS in Leiden.
Broad scope: Any topic in the domain of science studies research is likely to fit within the scope of our seminar. If you would like to present and are in doubt whether a specific topic is suitable for the seminar, please reach out to us.
Diversity of speakers: The CWTS seminar aims to have a diversity of speakers: Junior and senior researchers, researchers from different traditions in science studies research, researchers doing more basic and more applied work, researchers from CWTS and from elsewhere, etc. We are also open to different formats, for instance having multiple shorter presentations by different speakers instead of a longer presentation by a single speaker, or having a more interactive format aimed at stimulating engaging discussions.
Opportunity to meet informally: In addition to offering a forum for sharing and discussing scientific work, the CWTS seminar provides an opportunity for CWTS colleagues, speakers, and visitors to meet each other informally. Everyone who is physically attending the seminar is invited to join us for drinks afterwards.
