EVENTS

The CHHD Program organizes various scientific events during the academic year. These include:

Monday Noon Seminar Series

The program invites local, national, and international researchers to speak about a variety of topics pertaining to conception, fertility, development and pediatrics, during the academic year. These seminars are open to the public. The seminars are held once a month on Monday, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM in the Cruess Amphitheatre (ES1.1129) and on Zoom. The link is available in the calendar invitation or upon request, from the Program Manager.

Work-In-Progress Seminar Series

Held during the academic year, the program highly encourages trainees to participate. Every other week, two (2) trainees have 30 minutes to present their work and answer questions from attendees. The McGill University Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences sponsors this event. This event is open to the public. The audience will rate the presentations. At the end of the series each year, prizes are awarded for best presentation for each trainee category (Master's, PhD, and Post-Doc).

Annual CHHD Research Day

This is our annual large-scale scientific meeting, where we invite all our members to come and highlight their research in oral and/or poster presentations. The event is meant to inspire, create new collaborations, and spark new connections across the program. It is also a way to get to know the many members of the program and their research focus.

Trainee Events

These social events provide trainees with a collaborative platform to carry out various team-building activities in an informal setting. Although open to the entire program membership, we highly encourage trainee participation.

Other Events of Interest

The CHHD program is often involved in co-hosting seminars, workshops, and research events. Information on these will regularly be posted on the "Upcoming Events" section.
