Institutes for Transdisciplinary Scholarship - Health and Life Gathering
Join us on October 21, 2024, to learn more about our institutional, transdisciplinary Health and Life initiatives, including our faculties and institutes involved in this Area of Focus.
The morning will offer insight and panels on institutional priorities and successful transdisciplinary initiatives. After lunch, you will participate in roundtable discussions and have an opportunity to connect with Health and Life leadership on campus. You can view the full program on the registration page.
You do not need to have attended a previous Transdisciplinary Gathering or event to join us at this event – all scholars and research staff, including those new to transdisciplinary scholarship, are encouraged to attend.
Participants are welcome to attend all or portions of the event as your schedule allows.
This in-person event includes a light breakfast, doors open at 8:30am. All attendees are also invited to join us for a networking lunch from 12:00pm to 1:00pm.
The event will be followed by a mixer with industry partners starting at 4:45pm.
Update: The Critical Disabilities round table now has an online option for those who'd like to join virtually (Zoom link below). For those who would like to join this table in-person, the round table discussions will occur in the Ariel Room on the 2nd Floor of the MacEwan Conference Centre.
