Organization of seminars

ECOBAS holds two cycles of seminars: the Cycle of Research Seminars and the Cycle of Doctoral Seminars. In addition, it provides support to those members of the Center who request it in the organization of other seminars, collaborating in the preparation of dissemination materials and in the promotion of the events and, whenever possible, in their financing.

Commitment of indicating affiliation to ECOBAS

When taking part in activities such as congresses, interviews in the press, news… it will be necessary, as far as possible, to always indicate that you belong to the Center. This does not exclude the fact of indicating that you belong to a research group or to other corresponding entities.

The information shall be sent to the address below:

Collaboration and participation in the Center's activities

ECOBAS aims to become a reference center and to develop a strong scientific community. For this reason, we encourage all staff to get involved in the Center’s activities as much as possible. This implies, for example, attending, whenever possible, the events organized by the Center or its members; collaborating in the promotion and publicity of these events; following ECOBAS in social networks and sharing the publications that are made, among others.

Undergo periodic evaluation procedures

The research staff of ECOBAS will be evaluated every four years by an External Evaluation Committee, with the objective of guaranteeing that the quality and productivity of the Center remain steady.

Research Seminar Series


Seminars usually held on Fridays, in which important researchers, both in-house and from other national and international centers, are invited to present their work.

These activities have an approximate duration of one hour, and can be held both in a mixed manner ( on-site and broadcasted live through a virtual platform) and completely online.

They can be hosted at any of the campuses of the three universities that integrate the Center. Any member can propose the invitation of a researcher in the framework of this cycle, sending an e-mail to with information about the guest speaker they wish to invite, the work they would present, and the date it would take place. The Scientific Direction will evaluate the proposal based on the quality of the lecturer, the adequacy of the subject matter with the work lines of the Center, and the availability of the date.

Doctoral Seminar Series


In these seminars, researchers in the early stages of their career (predoctoral and postdoctoral) are invited to share their work, and also to talk about their experience, from a more vital point of view, in the field of research.

They are usually held on Thursdays (with some exceptions) and, as with the research seminars, the approximate duration is one hour, and can be held in a mixed manner ( on-site and broadcasted live through a virtual platform) or totally online.

The procedure for proposing a seminar of this type is the same as for the Research Seminars: an e-mail should be sent to with the details of the candidate you would like to invite, the work to be presented, and the preferred date, and the proposal will be evaluated by the Scientific Direction and the decision will be communicated to the applicant.

Libra de Oficio


It is a series of seminars-conferences of knowledge transference. People belonging to different entities of interest (companies, administrations, associations…) are invited to share with us their expertise and to present us the singularities of their sector and their work.

The name of this series of events comes from the popular Galician proverb ‘A pound of trade is worth more than an acre of land’, which has the same meaning as ‘knowledge is worth more than a lot’, and wants to highlight the importance of research and knowledge for the performance of any activity and, therefore, the importance of the research centers to work hand in hand with the rest of the social agents and with the citizenship, establishing collaborations and keeping us always in direct contact with society.

These activities last approximately one hour, and can be attended both on-site and online, since on most occasions they are broadcasted via streaming through the Center’s YouTube channel. The attending audience has the opportunity to receive small sustainable gifts from ECOBAS, participate in raffles of products related to the guests, or participate in various additional activities, depending on the event.

The objective of these activities is twofold: on the one hand, to bring the Center closer to the public by offering non-academic activities, in order to arouse their interest in ECOBAS’ work topics; and on the other hand, to establish a network of contact with entities of interest in the surrounding area, opening the possibility of collaborating with them through different means (joint participation in competitive research projects, signing of agreements to carry out activities of common interest…).
