Colloquia

The project’s work plan anticipates a series of seminars and lectures, through which the team members will inform a wider audience of the progress and results of the research. It will also be an opportunity for other, junior as well as senior, scientists from Croatia and abroad, to present their research in the field of the history and philosophy of science, and related disciplines.
