Lab Seminars and Reading Circles
on Enaction and Related Topics
General rules: when the seminar is intern to the team, and as part of our training, half of the time of the exchanges are in English; when an English speaker is invited, then English is spoken all the time.
Reading Circles: Each participant should produce a summary of the indicated document(s) and a discussion on the relations between the studied document(s) and his or her own work. Good luck!
Lab Seminars: Lab Seminars are formal presentations on a specific theory (or piece of theory), experimental reports, or deal with the advancement of research projects.
Around these events, regular meetings are organized in order to solve problems, monitor the advancement of projects, and discuss material or isolated issues.
