We are delighted to annouce the launch of a new webinar series organized by BNP-ISBA. This series of monthly webinars are designed to disseminate research progress made by distinguished scholars working in our vast area. Although this series was partially motivated by the restrictions in effect due to current global health conditions, our aim is to transform this activity in a permanent place for regular meeting and discussion of BNP ideas.
Webinars will usually take place the first Wednesday of each month. The current calendar is available below:
