The new four research clusters have launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/scienzepolitiche.luiss.it\/page\/seminars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new seminars series<\/a>. Called \u201cwork in progress,\u201d the series gives senior and junior faculty as well as (occasionally) external speakers the opportunity to present their researches (articles, book proposals, manuscript, and research project) and receive feedbacks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the clusters are in the process of formulating the research areas and keywords as well as the guidelines for the recruitment of 8 post-docs, whose appointment will begin in September 2023. Post-docs, as well as doctoral students, are core members of the clusters. The clusters are also working closely with the Research Office for the organization of events (such as informative sessions) open to potential candidate for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowships applicants. In the short-medium run, the idea is to organize, on a yearly base, a pre-selection of the candidates interested in applying for these fellowships with Luiss as a host institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Political Science at Luiss University brings together scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds.
