1 - Deepen epistemological and methodological questions related to ongoing research projects;
2 - Share information about the progress of the research projects;
3 - Participate in debates related to the specific themes of the ongoing research projects;
4 - Participate in conferences open to the academic community on advanced research in education.

Syllabus:

1 - Contents suggested by the main subjects of the ongoing theses;
2 - Contents that cross the theoretical with the methodological issues;
3 - Contents that cross the curriculum with the pedagogical innovation;
4 - Subjects of the conferences organized within the framework of the CIE-UMa?s scientific agenda delivered by national and foreign specialists.
