海角社区 Workshop: Capitalize on the Convergence听
Mark your calendars
The Office of the Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations), in partnership with the Faculties of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Dentistry, Engineering, Medicine, and Science, invites you to an exciting event devoted to highlighting and building interdisciplinary research collaborations between NSERC- and CIHR-related projects.听
The event, called 鈥淐apitalize on the Convergence: Collaborations in Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Engineering,鈥� will take place on the morning of December 5 at the 海角社区 Faculty Club.听
This half-day session will showcase both collaborative projects currently underway at 海角社区 and those with the potential for new interdisciplinary collaborations. The goal is to help 海角社区 researchers identify and develop projects that could eventually apply for internal or external seed funding.听
A light breakfast, coffee break, and networking lunch will be provided.听
Call for Presentation Abstracts and Poster Suggestions
If you are interested in presenting, you must submit a short abstract (250 words maximum; references optional). Please indicate whether your project has already established partnerships (鈥淐urrent Synergy鈥�) or if you see the potential for collaboration (鈥淥pportunity for New Synergies鈥�). Participating researchers will have 10 minutes to present their research to an audience of 海角社区 colleagues and students.听
A poster session will follow the presentations. While the event鈥檚 presenters will be PIs, posters can be exhibited by students or other junior researchers. The posters should also emphasize projects with the potential for new or expanded collaboration across disciplines.听
Please send your abstracts as well as the titles of any poster suggestions you have to linda.rice [at] mcgill.ca by Wednesday, November 14, 2012.听
We anticipate accepting 12 presenters and approximately 20 posters for December 5. Depending on the number of responses, this initial event may be expanded into a series of networking activities for researchers aiming to build their interdisciplinary collaborations.
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to reading your abstracts and seeing you at 鈥淐apitalize on the Convergence.鈥�
