The Europe@LSE research seminar intends to provide a forum for research on Europe - both on the European Union and beyond its borders, and in all disciplines. Papers are given by external speakers, by staff and by research students.  It is open to the academic public but it is hoped in particular that LSE staff and doctoral students become regular attendants so as to create a scholarly community.  For more information, please contact Dr Jan Komarek (J.Komarek@lse.ac.uk, Michaelmas Term).  Chrysoula Papalexatou is the PhD student contact for the seminar series (c.papalexatou@lse.ac.uk).

Seminars take place on Tuesdays, starting with sandwich lunch at 12:30 and continuing with presentation between 13:00-14:00 in COW 1.11 (unless announced otherwise). Please confirm your attendance with Jenny Robottom at j.l.robottom@lse.ac.uk).
