The Q-seminar is a meeting place for current research in culture and society.

The Q seminars are organized by the research environment Culture and Society in collaboration with the Forum for Form, Aesthetics, and Design. The seminar series are based on texts by the research environment's own researchers and doctoral students, as well as presentations by external guests.
