WHO Caregiver Skills Training Program: Master Trainer Workshop
McGill Chemistry Student Invited Lecture: Zhenan Bao- Skin-Inspired Organic Electronics
Skin is the body’s largest organ. It is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable, stretchable, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of electronic materials, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a tremendous, unrealized materials challenge.

EduGenAI: Shaping Tomorrow's Learning with Generative AI
DATE: May 13th & 14th 2024
LOCATION : Arts Building, room W120 and 150, McGill University, 853 Sherbrooke West
EduGenAI Panel: Artificial Intelligence in Teaching
Panel Overview: Instructors design and implement the teaching that students experience. This panel will focus on how Generative AI is forcing us to rethink what and how we teach and conduct assessments. Instructors and students from different disciplines will share reflections on their experiences and discuss future directions for teaching in the age of Generative AI.
Questions explored:
EduGenAI Keynote - A Middle Path: How GenAI should and should not change Teaching and Learning
EduGenAI Panel: Artificial Intelligence in Learning
Panel Overview: Students learn in formal and informal settings and ways. Generative AI will challenge our assumptions about the way learning happens and what it means to have learned something. This panel will explore the experiences of instructors and students from different disciplines and look to future directions for learning in the age of generative AI.
Questions explored:
EduGenAI Keynote - Navigating the Generative AI Landscape: Opportunities, Threats, and Implementation Strategies
The Generative AI Landscape: Understanding the different types of generative AI models (e.g., text, image, audio) and their capabilities.
EduGenAI Panel: Artificial Intelligence in Research
Overview: While beliefs regarding the impact of AI on education – both realized and potential – are readily available, what we actually know and understand about such impacts is still quite limited. This panel will illustrate some of the routes that researchers are taking towards building a better collective understanding necessary for the responsible use of AI in education.
Coding Ateliers: R, Python, Matlab, SPSS, SQL, C++
As part of CDSI, the Data Science Solutions Hub (DaS2H) offers Coding Ateliers to the entire McGill community, where you can drop-in during atelier hours with your laptop, work on your research project and, whenever you have a question, we would be happy to assist you on the spot. If your question turns out to be a bigger issue that we cannot solve instantly, we will advise you how to best proceed.
MSSI Collective Meet-up: Grad student & postdoc sustainability researchers
Connect with other grad students and postdocs that are working on - or interested in - sustainability research. We plan to take advantage of the (hopefully) nice spring weather and hold this meet-up outdoors at the downtown campus. Please register below to help us plan.
Empowering sustainability: circular markets for lithium-ion batteries
Join us for an insightful panel discussion on the current market trends, key actors, and enablers driving the transition towards a circular economy for lithium-ion batteries.

OSS 25th Anniversary Celebration
The Montreal Gazette's Josh Freed, will sit down with Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Director of the McGill OSS, for an entertaining conversation about how the Office for Science and Society came to be and some of the fun (and challenges) the Office has tackled over the last 25 years. (And of course, in true OSS fashion, there will be some fun demos throughout the evening!)
