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, held an exciting event devoted to highlighting and building interdisciplinary research collaborations between NSERC- and CIHR-related projects.
The event, called 鈥淐apitalize on the Convergence: Collaborations in Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Engineering,鈥� took place on December 5 at the 成人VR视频 Faculty Club.
This half-day session showcased both collaborative projects currently underway at 成人VR视频 and those with the potential for new interdisciplinary collaborations. The goal was to help 成人VR视频 researchers identify and develop projects that could eventually apply for internal or external seed funding.
