The HBHL Symposium听is designed to showcase the vision,听goals and听priorities of 91社区's most ambitious interdisciplinary brain and mental health research initiative. Join us for听thoughtful exchange on our four research themes that will spark new ideas, collaboration and innovation, not only within 91社区 but across the Canadian and international neuroscience communities.听The Symposium is part of HBHL's annual two-day event, along with our Research Day.

Highlights of the 2019 HBHL Symposium:

  • Keynote presentations by world-leading experts in the field of neuroscience
  • Progress reports from senior HBHL researchers who lead听our Discovery and Innovative Ideas projects
  • HBHL funding and activities updates
  • Opportunities to network and form collaborations
  • Complimentary lunch & refreshments, and reception to close the day
