Conferences

The Swiss elite observatory regularly organises conferences on elite related topics and methodological approaches we use in our work at the University of Lausanne. The goal of these meetings is to exchange, coordinate and share our ideas with scholars from Switzerland and abroad. On many occasions we have also organised panels or workshops on elites in the framework of national or international congresses.
