DIJ Forum
Since March 1997, the DIJ has been organizing a public lecture series called DIJ Forum where internationally renowned scholars and researchers speak on topics of general interest. The DIJ Forum usually takes place once a month and is aimed at both an academic and general audience alike.
Selected lectures are available as audio or video files. They can be downloaded from our Podcast page or viewed on our YouTube channel.
