McGill Engine and The Desjardins Centre for Advanced Training are pleased to host an information session for students who want to learn more about participating in the Coopérathon, the largest open innovation competition in the world. The Coopérathon is open to researchers, students, health providers, and more, who are looking to work in collaborative teams to create solutions that advance health and science. With over $100,000 in prizes, one of a kind training and a community that has been growing strong for the last 5 years, Cooperathon is a unique opportunity to transform your ideas into impactful innovations! All of this is free for participants in 2020.
Learn more about what it’s like to participate from 2019’s Grand Prize winners. You will hear from organizers of the Coopérathon and McGill trainee participants will share key points about their experience!
