A one-day meeting designed for all researchers, affiliated researchers and HQPs at TMU who are part of the Bridging Divides team
Led by BD's Ali Mazalek and Ebrahim Bagheri, this retreat aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing among researchers working on various projects within the BD program. It's an opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and explore collective solutions to challenges in your research.
During the retreat, participants will gain insights into how some of the science and engineering research groups within BD are using technology and digital media design to advance their projects. There will be ample time for Q&A sessions, as well as opportunities to present your own ideas, challenges, or seek feedback from peers working in different fields.
