8e Journée annuelle de recherche CHHD

Événement en personne

25 novembre 2022

Welcome to the 8th Annual CHHD Research Day

Child Health and Human Development Research Day was conceived to provide the program members and guests information and updates about the research in the program, and to initiate and reinforce collaborations.

This year, we are very lucky and privileged to have the ability to participate in the research day through an in-person event. The health of the CHHD members and staff, however, remains our top priority. Accordingly, below you will find a set of regulations that need to be strictly followed to ensure a safe, pleasant, and successful research day.

Oral presentations will be held in the Drs. Richard & Sylvia Cruess Amphitheatre (auditorium) of the glen site in Bloc E (ES1.1129). The presentations can also be accessed through Zoom (link will be provided). Poster presentations will be held in the corridor outside the auditorium all the way to the atrium of Bloc E (more info will be provided to poster presenters and judges in due time). We hope this arrangement will allow an ongoing conversation and interactive discussions without creating crowds and violating the COVID-19 gathering regulations.

All CHHD members from the CTB, CORE, and CIM are invited to participate in this event! Trainees, however, will be given presentation priority as we want this event to be an opportunity for the CHHD trainees community to show their results and receive feedback, and most of all, improve their communication skills that are essential for the success of any future researcher.

We are looking forward to seeing you in person on the CHHD Research Day!
