Our Events

Symposia, study days, research workshops and conferences

The Center organizes or co-organizes, with its partners and other institutions, symposia, study days, research workshops and conferences related to its programs and, more broadly, to its areas of research.
Held in France or abroad, these events may be recorded and subsequently posted on the Center’s YouTube channel, and may result in the publication of proceedings or a selection of papers in the Bulletin du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.
