colloquium
Significado: An academic seminar or conference at which scholars present and discuss papers on a specific topic, typically smaller and more specialised than a full conference.
A colloquium is more focused and intimate than a conference but more formal than a workshop. It usually involves presentations followed by structured discussion among experts in a shared field. The plural is 'colloquia' (Latin) or 'colloquiums' (anglicised). Universities frequently host departmental colloquia as part of their regular academic programme. The related adjective 'colloquial' (informal, conversational) shares the root but has diverged significantly in meaning.
