lakehead orillia's research & innovation week opens with celebration of top five achievements
"research and innovation at lakehead nurtures scholarship, contributes to the prosperity of our community, and makes a difference in people's lives," said dr. rui wang, vice president of research, economic development and innovation.
"this week is an invitation to the residents of thunder bay and simcoe county to see the high calibre research conducted at lakehead, meet the researchers who make it happen and discover the benefits this research has for everyone," dr. wang said.
lakehead president dr. brian stevenson said research and innovation week is an opportunity to thank and honour the important work of the researchers. "it's important to recognize the role played by both the federal and the provincial governments, and funding councils such as the canada foundation for innovation," dr. stevenson said. "without public support, many of these projects wouldn't be possible."
more than a dozen presentations are included in this year's conference, including an exciting range of topics focusing on social, cultural, environmental and community issues.
other highlights of the week include poster displays, a special guest speaker in celebration of black history month, dr. rita deverell, and a community partnership celebration to wrap up the week.
