The research group regularly organises a series of lunchtime seminars or lectures related to the emergence, development, and expansion of new forms of governance.

In an informal and intimate atmosphere, companion researchers have the opportunity to present theories, concepts and findings from their work before opening the floor for discussion.

Lunch seminars generally take place on Thursdays between 12.00 and 2.00pm.

Are you interested in participating in the lunch seminars, either as a presenter or listener? Do you want to know more about previous events? For further information, or to be kept informed on upcoming lunch seminars, send us an email.
