The XIth International Wassard Elea Symposium was held in Ascea in October 2021, was the eleventh in the series, and we are planning to hold more Symposia in future years.
The Wassard Elea Symposium format includes relatively long sessions of 90 minutes, consisting of detailed presentations of 40 minutes, with each participant also providing a 20 minute commentary on another paper, plus 30 minutes of discussion. This arrangement encourages an intimate and engaged atmosphere of discussion and the exchange of ideas.
