This page summarizes the planned guest lectures, where the first part of the table lists the lectures that either have already taken place or have been scheduled. The last entries of the table list additional international experts to be invited to give lectures at STUBA. These lectures will be the seed for the creation of a sustained guest lecture seminar series at STUBA, which is one of the declared aims of FrontSeat meant to strengthen STUBA’s role in the knowledge triangle research – education – innovation.
