colloquium

Scholarly discussion forum

A colloquium is a formal academic gathering where scholars present and discuss research, typically more structured than a seminar but less formal than a conference.

Universities host colloquia (the Latin plural, though colloquiums also appears) for faculty and graduate students to share work in progress: The philosophy department's weekly colloquium drew a good crowd.
