Scientific Day
The Annual Scientific Day is the academic highlight of the year.
It is an opportunity for students to share their research and work on presentation skills, and a time for the IMS community to celebrate student and faculty achievements. All faculty and students are encouraged to attend.
Scientific Day takes place in Spring each year. Students are invited participate in the Laidlaw Manuscript Competition and the Alan Wu Poster Competition. IMS faculty members and students will be updated via email of competition deadlines and Scientific Day events.
As part of their degree requirements, all MSc and PhD students must present their research project at Scientific Day once during their degree, either via the Alan Wu Poster Competition OR Laidlaw Manuscript Competition.
We are excited to announce that IMS Scientific Day 2023 will be held over two days on April 24 & 25 at Hart House.
What to Expect:
- The first day's program, Charting Your Own Course, will focus on career development and exploration. The half-day program (12:00 - 5:00 pm) is being designed and delivered in partnership with the IMS Peer-to-Peer Mentorship and will include lunch and networking, industry and academia career panels, plus exciting professional development workshops.
- April 25 will include a full day of activities (8:00 am - 5:00 pm) with the Alan Wu Poster Competition, Bernard Langer Annual Lecture in Health Sciences, Laidlaw Manuscript Competition, Awards Ceremony and Reception.
More details coming soon.
