The Weekly Reading Seminar provides the opportunity for a small group to come together regularly to clsely study a chosen text. Traditionally, in the first semester the seminar is dedicated to a Platonic dialogue, while in the second semester a text from the Platonic tradition, or a modern philosophical text with a Platonist influence becomes the focus.
The Visiting Speaker Colloquium attracts expert scholars from around the world and from diverse academic disciplines to share their latest research.
The Plato Centre also organises and hosts a number of workshops on topics related to Plato, his philosophy and philosophy in the Platonic tradition. These events are usually held over one or two days, and, depending on the theme, tend to attract scholars and students from a range of different academic disciplines.
Since 2006 the Centre has organized and hosted a series of Public Lectures on the general topic of "Platonism and the World Crisis". The aim of these lectures is to bring a Platonic perspecitve to the economic, political and social challenges facing the world today.
Each year, in order to promote the latest scholarship in Neoplatonism, the Centre hosts the Stephen MacKenna Lecture.
