The main goal of the '''scientonomy seminar''' is to scrutinize different aspects of our current [[Scientonomy|scientonomic knowledge]] and formulate as many interesting open questions as possible. As opposed to the [[Scientonomy Workshop|workshop]] format, the seminar's primary objective is unearthing the drawbacks of our current scientonomic knowledge, i.e. understanding '''what does not work'''. While the seminar also often generates interesting ideas on how this or that problem can be solved, the primary outcome of the seminar is [[List of Open Questions|the list of open questions ]] for future research.  The seminar is held annually by [http://hps.utoronto.ca/ the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology], University of Toronto. The seminar usually starts in January and ends in April consisting of 10-12 discussion sessions.

The seminar was first designed and run by [[Hakob Barseghyan]] in 2013. Originally, the seminar had a wider agenda and tried to accomplish the following two tasks:

==Present==The seminar currently takes place at the beginning of every calendar year and focuses on the task of unearthing the drawbacks of in our current scientonomic knowledge.
If a question raises a sufficient level of interest or disagreement, it is considered an open question. Clearly, this criterion is somewhat vague and not very strict; as a result, the list of open questions can sometimes include questions the answers to which may appear trivial. However, this is done on purpose; the assumption here is that an occasional inclusion of a trivial question outweighs the risk of missing an important question.
 
==Future==
As the format of the seminar is exportable, scientonomists throughout the world are encouraged to organize similar seminars and formulate open questions. These questions will be entered into the encyclopedia and will become potential topics for future research.
