Human Diversity seminars showcase interdisciplinary research associated to the consortium. Seminar series is aimed to be added as part of the visiting seminars and other teaching at the departments. Seminars contain either one visiting talk (45+15 minutes) or two talks where at the start of the seminar a consortium member tells about the Human Diversity research related to the topic (20+10 minutes) followed by a visitor talk (45+15 minutes). Students can collect credits for HUDI001 by participating the seminars. Details are found in Peppi.
