Volta hosts a regular programme of Seminars. It also hosts a number of Colloquia and Symposia. College seminars include contributions from external speakers on a variety of subjects. They also include an internal seminar programme, available on the College intranet, in which talks are given by postgraduate members of the College, ie post-doctoral fellows, PhD students, postgraduate medical students and, less frequently, by final year undergraduates. Colloquia are open to the general public, are held more rarely and focus on science policy or major issues at the interface between science and society. Their primary aim is to foster the public understanding of science and support policy decisions at University level. Symposia involve a wide range of subjects. The first Symposia initiative held by College has been a Graduate Symposia series aiming to promote graduate's education at the University of Pavia and stronger interactions between the humanities and the experimental sciences.
