Thursdays at the Maison Suger
Research seminars for Maison Suger residents

Maison Suger is a residence for foreign researchers in the humanities and social sciences. In addition to its accommodation functions, the Maison Suger was conceived from its creation as a place to encourage research, scientific encounters and the sharing of approaches, methods and knowledge.
The 200 researchers who work here each year are invited to present their research at a joint seminar held on Thursdays at the Maison Suger. This seminar gives them the opportunity to compare their current research, present their issues, and compare and contrast their views and analyses, from an interdisciplinary perspective. It also aims to foster potential collaborations.
