This year, particular attention has been devoted to the importance of studying applied argumentation in different domains: from finance, to health communication, to law and political discourse.
Another relevant feature of the 2007-2008 edition has been the presence of numerous PhD students from Lugano and Amsterdam, who showed interesting developments of the research of the two groups.
The program of the Colloquium interventions has been the following:
