Graduate Seminars (Mandatory Attendance)

The program’s coordination organizes a semesterly schedule of seminars focused on topics relevant to the International Relations.

Given the significance of the subjects discussed and the importance of these activities for graduate students at IRI, attendance at the seminars is mandatory for all students enrolled in the master’s and PhD programs. To fulfill this requirement, students must attend at least 70% of the Graduate Seminars offered throughout the year.

Students will receive the seminar schedule as far in advance as possible to allow for planning. With few exceptions, seminars are typically held on Tuesday mornings.

If a student is unable to meet the minimum attendance requirement, they must justify their absences in the annual report, which will be reviewed by their supervisor and the Graduate Studies Committee.

 The schedule for the seminars planned for the second semester of 2025 will be announced soon.
