The Weekly Main Meeting
On every Wednesday during the academic year, EUYSRA holds its general meeting which presents all manners of scientific and technological seminars delivered by top researchers and academics of the University (the talk is presented in laymans terms so that everyone regardless of background can appreciate the topic). The meeting is concluded with the trade mark debate "Principia Scientifica" where two students will argue two sides of a predetermined topic.
