The Department of Philosophy Research Seminars, organised by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Malta, offer a friendly environment for researchers to present their work in progress. The seminars are intended for current and recent postgraduates, doctoral students and academics researching within or bordering the field of philosophy. Undergraduate students are encouraged to attend these seminars. In a typical seminar, a researcher presents a 40-60 minute presentation of his/her work followed by a 30 minute discussion session. The main ideas behind these seminars are to inspire a culture of academic debate, to provide a forum for postgraduate and doctoral students, and to showcase philosophical research being done within the humanities.
