General Seminars
General Seminars are held on Thursdays, 11.00-12.00, in the period between September and July. The Seminar program embraces all areas of astrophysics and related technologies, and is aimed at sharing new scientific results with the entire Observatory community.
The Colloquia Organising Team (Giovanni Sabatini, Giada Peron, Anna Rita Gallazzi, Carolina Belli, Eleonora Zari) is responsible for selecting and scheduling the general seminars.
