Nous avons passé un si bon moment à notre premier forum de deux jours sur la bourse EDIR! Au programme figuraient des présentations fort captivantes, des activités de réseautage fructueuses et des activités de perfectionnement professionnel enrichissantes. Nous remercions chaleureusement tous les titulaires, les mentors, les partenaires, les organisateurs et les invités de leur pleine participation! 💚

We celebrated an inspiring two days at our inaugural REDI Forum, which was filled with motivating talks, valuable networking activities, and enriching professional development opportunities. A heartfelt thank you to all the awardees, mentors, partners, organizers, and invited guests for your meaningful participation! 💚

I had a fantastic two days in Toronto attending the CIHR REDI (Research Excellence, Diversity, Independence) event, expertly led by my colleague Charu Kaushic and her amazing team. It was inspiring to engage with such an impressive group of REDI scholars, dedicated mentors, committed staff, and outstanding speakers and panelists.

Le compte rendu de l’assemblée annuelle de l’Alliance des bailleurs de fonds de la recherche et de l’innovation sur la démence est maintenant en ligne! Il met en lumière nos efforts de collaboration pour faire progresser la #RechercheSurLaDémence. Collaboration, retombées et viabilité : trois thèmes clés qui éclairent la voie à suivre: - Renforcement de la collaboration pour stimuler les avancées dans la recherche et l'innovation. - Définition des indicateurs de retombées, et mise en récit de nos succès. - Promotion de la viabilité grâce à des relations durables. En unissant nos efforts, nous veillons à ce que la recherche se traduise par des retombées concrètes pour les personnes atteintes de démence et leurs aidants. 🎉🤝🚀   Lire le compte rendu : https://lnkd.in/ghaHW-NN #UneVoixPourUnVieillissementCérébralSain #SantéCérébrale #démence #InnovationEnRecherche Alzheimer Society of Canada ALS Society of Canada Alzheimer Society of B.C.
