Science Literacy Week 2015: Exploration & Innovation

Sept 21-27, 2015 - events at UofT libraries and UofT

About the Event

During Science Literacy Week 2015, the University of Toronto Libraries invites faculty, students, and researchers to join us for:  

Cross Collaboration - Speed Networking for UofT Researchers

Theme - Innovation for Improving Health

Science Literacy 2015 

                            Word cloud for Health Research Collaborations

Looking for a way to combine forces with others interested or researching in Health? 

Interested in finding out what other research is happening at UofT and meeting potential collaborators? 

Think your research interests could be combined with others to find innovations to improve health?

 

Attend this special speed-networking event where U of T faculty, students (post-docs, graduate, undergraduate) and researchers connect during a series of 7-minute speed-meetings. Participants will walk away with new connections for health research and dynamic interchange of interests and knowledge.

Inspiration for health innovations can come from a mixture of disciplines (e.g., psychology, visual arts, computer science, public policy, etc.). Come discuss how your research can benefit innovations in health and find out what kinds of research is happening across U o f T.
