Professor Francesco Verde of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" organizes an online workshop dedicated to Epicurus with the participation of some of the most important epicurean scholars in the world.
And many of the speeches will be in English.
Everyone can participate.
You can download the pdf here and here.
In the coming days I will release the announcement of the second NetoIP award on the best thesis on Epicurus.
See you soon!
Thank you Michele -- that does look interesting - please keep us posted!
Michele can anyone join that link, or can we distribute it to everyone who might be interested?
Thank you Michele!
Looks like THESE are the presentations:
Michele I am very interested in several of those presentations but I am worried that my schedule is not going to allow me to view this live. I am going to try to make at least part of it, but I would appreciate it if you could help me be alert to see if they are going to post anywhere links so people can view the presentations afterward. Thanks very much for alerting us about this! I know that I definitely am interested in most anything Voula Tsouna has to say about Epicurus, and I am looking forward to finding out more about these other lecturers.
Ok - thanks Michele. Just curious - is there a reason for that? I don't really travel in academic circles -- is there some reason that a professional who gives a public lecture, or an entity that sponsors a public lecture, would not want that available publicly afterwards? Some kind of concern for intellectual property or something?
Ok yes that was what I was thinking was probably the case. I guess this is sponsored by a university or some institution that is concerned about publication rights, so that's understandable. In addition to that kind of program, I hope over time we can develop programs that are truly "free" to everyone.
Senigallia's Festival is free! 
But they make research. we make divulgation.
That's a new word for me! 
Michele I was only able to check in once on Saturday morning, and when I did I was not able to figure out how to make a connection. Did you (or anyone reading this) get to view it and have any general comments about how it went?
Is it possible that Voula Tsouna released a paper with her talk or handouts to which we could get access?
Also, do you know more details about a new translation of Epicurean texts? Compiled / translated by whom?
