  • * This Two–Day programme combines a core of formal-and-methodological Historical-Scientific Research on one side and Science EU/overseas Studies on the other, with a participative approach that includes participant problem solving and roundtable. It will mobilise the latest evidence and a multidisciplinary expertise. The manifold experiences of participants in the field will be central, with participants sharing and developing their perspectives i.e., developing a concrete case study that cuts across themes.
  • * In particular, for this kind of Open Roundtable, no standalone talks are expected. The invited Keynote Speakers for this Open Roundtable should not prepare a presentation. They will initially speak for some minutes and then, under the guidance of the Moderator, the debate between Roundtable Keynote Speakers and Participants will develop, on the subject and in the field.
