The binational forums are based on workshops held in parallel, addressing issues of a transversal nature and of special relevance to both countries and of global interest, according to the research and creative capacities existing within the Universities.
Each thematic workshop is developed in specific sessions and consecutively, addressing particular issues related to the expertise of the participants. Finally, each of the sessions is based on short presentations (15 minutes of lecture-style presentation including dialogue with workshop attendees) where Faculty members grouped in sessions present their research and discuss among each other.
