You are warmly welcome to join the upcoming CAT seminar series for the academic year 2026/2027. Pre-registration is required to receive access to the recorded presentation.

Each presentation will last approximately 30–40 minutes, depending on the presenter, followed by an open discussion that will not be recorded.
