Mentorship as a winning element in research and economic development

How inspiring by example is a precious part of the educational process and essential to recruiting and developing the next generation of researchers.

At this online event, we asked “What are the key ingredients to inspire the next generation of researchers to succeed?” Attendees heard how the bond between researchers and their students is critical to developing a highly skilled workforce in areas such as health and electric-car batteries.

The panel included a conversation with four distinguished researchers:

Marie-Josée Hébert
Vice-Rector of Research, Discovery, Creation and Innovation, Université de Montréal

Alexandre Brodeur
Research assistant, Centre de recherche du CHUM

Jeff Dahn
Principal Investigator, NSERC/Tesla Canada Alliance Grant, Dalhousie University

Tina Taskovic
PhD candidate in chemistry, Dalhousie University

moderated by

Roseann O’Reilly Runte
President and CEO of the CFI

 

Officials also reported on the 2021-22 activities at the CFI.
