The Max Weber Occasional Lectures are informal seminars by distinguished scholars invited by members of the Programme as the academic year develops.
The aim of this initiative is to enrich the academic life of the Programme and the EUI by taking advantage of scholars passing through Europe and Italy and inviting them to stop over in Florence and deliver a talk about their most recent research and upcoming books.
Occasional Talks are also given by scholars who are visiting the EUI for other purposes, such as a thesis defense.
Occasional Talks may also be linked to a Multidisciplinary Workshop organised by Fellows, one of the Thematic Groups, an ad hoc reading group, or some other activity.
Fellows not listed in the Thematic Research Groups are encouraged to put forward the names of suitable candidates for Occasional Talks.
