Public Lectures & Symposium
Our events are targeted not only to inform our audiences but also to create a casual platform for anyone to share and discuss innovative ideas. We firmly believe that the act of philosophizing is crucial for the growth of cross-disciplinary fields and we encourage anyone who is interested to get involved and become part of the community.
