Semester Programme
Every semester the CDC organises its public programme, a series of events related to current research projects. Coherent topics and themes are developed collectively and reflect the problems and questions CDC researchers are dealing with. The central ‘spine’ of the semester themes is formed by the CDC Talks, Colloquia, Workshops, and Panels. We also plan and organise event formats such as symposia, as well as a variety of more experimental and open conversations, that take place during the semester or in the term break.
Video recordings of past events are available on Vimeo. You can see the current semester programme below.
