Events
The IEB organizes a wide variety of academic and outreach activities, including seminars, IEB IWIP sessions, workshops, and conferences.
In the seminars, IEB and external researchers present advanced research in order to exchange ideas with other scholars. The IEB IWIP (Internal Work in Progress) sessions are devoted to research at an early stage, with the aim of providing initial feedback and comments. Workshops and symposiums bring together cutting-edge research related to the topics covered by the IEB research programs. Conferences involve researchers, experts, and representatives from civil and institutional spheres with the objective of promoting debate on issues of general interest.
