Join us in celebrating International Women's Day at an inspirational “Mentorshare” afternoon event where distinguished scientists will take us on their career journey and reflect on themes such leadership, career choice, internationalization, and career survival and more.
Embracing the 2024 government of Canada’s theme: “Investing in Women: accelerate progress”, our RI-MUHC researchers will engage in a panel discussion about initiatives to accelerate gender equality in science. The afternoon will conclude with a reception to network and connect with the RI-MUHC community. For in person attendees, we will have a draw of the board game HERSTORY. We look forward to seeing you there!
