's 18th annual research & innovation week's planning is well underway and we're pleased to return to an in-person event. the events (e.g workshops, student poster/oral presentations, and speaker panels) will run from february 27 to march 2, 2023 on the thunder bay campus, and from march 7 to march 9, 2023, on the orillia campus.
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's r&i week delivers on 3 key goals:
- to celebrate and showcase research excellence
- to raise public awareness about research and its benefits to society, and
- to facilitate research collaborations
research excellence is promoted throughout the year, but especially during our annual research & innovation week. a number of awards are given out during this week, including the distinguished researcher award, the research excellence award, the building research capacity award, the innovation award and many more.
research & innovation week provides an avenue for researchers (faculty, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and research staff) and their partners, to showcase their research. the event includes both graduate and undergraduate student conferences. achievements in graduate student research are celebrated through the three-minute thesis, three-minute research and graduate student research excellence awards, which encourages high quality presentations and publications by graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
the contributions of faculty and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are also promoted locally, nationally, and internationally to raise the profile of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's research activity and expertise.
each year, a theme is chosen to guide topics for presenters. the chosen theme for the 2023 research & innovation week is "improving our lives through research."
improving our lives through research
curiosity propels us to discover life’s mysteries, and research enables us to improve every aspect of our lives. we strive to make our world an exceptional place, and work to make our present lives and futures brighter as we learn from our past. research – whether in scientific discoveries, in health and wellbeing, in understanding society and culture, or in partnering with community and industry – is the cornerstone to understanding problems, finding solutions, and improving our lives.
