Each research seminar contains one or more presentations by FNUG's own researchers or by researchers invited from outside. Master's students can also be presenters, and there will typically be two or three presentations on which the discussions are based. FNUG Foundations is based on articles that the participants have read in advance and which we discuss at the seminar. Read more about FNUG Foundations here.
