DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Vice-Principal (Research and International Re
 lations)\, in partnership with the Faculties of Agricultural and Environme
 ntal Sciences\, Dentistry\, Engineering\, Medicine\, and Science\, held an
  exciting event devoted to highlighting and building interdisciplinary res
 earch collaborations between NSERC- and CIHR-related projects.\nThe event\
 , called “Capitalize on the Convergence: Collaborations in Health Sciences
 \, Natural Sciences\, and Engineering\,” took place on December 5 at the M
 cGill Faculty Club.\nThis half-day session showcased both collaborative pr
 ojects currently underway at McGill and those with the potential for new i
 nterdisciplinary collaborations. The goal was to help McGill researchers i
 dentify and develop projects that could eventually apply for internal or e
 xternal seed funding.\nClick on the presentation and poster titles in the 
 schedule below to learn more about the opportunities presented.\n \nFull s
