SUMMARY:Building Transdisciplinary Research Paths towards a more Sustainable and Inclusive Future
DESCRIPTION:EN  FR \n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal environmental change and sustainability require engagement with civil society and wide participation to gain social legitimacy\, also\, it is necessary to open cooperation among different scientific disciplines\, borderless collaboration\, and collaborative learning processes\, among other crucial issues. \nThose efforts have been recurrently encompassed by the idea of ‘Transdisciplinarity’ (TD)\, which is a fairly new word and evolving concept. Several of those characteristics are daily practices in academic and non-academic communities\, sometimes under different words or conceptions. \nWith this workshop\, Belmont Forum and IAI aim to open a collective reflection on the ideas and practices around TD to foster participatory knowledge production. Our goal is to create a safe environment for people to share their impressions about TD\, as a form of experimental lab based on a culture of collaboration. \nDr. Lily House-Peters\nPhD Associate Professor of Sustainability Science(562) 985-1889\nlily.housepeteres@csulb.edu \nSee BioDr. Gabriela-Alonso Yanez\nPhD Associate Professor\, University of Calgary(587) 227-0544\ngalonsoy@ucalgary.ca \nSee BioMarshalee Valentine\nMSc\, BTech Co-Funder and President of the board\, International Women’s Coffee Alliance Jamaica.See BioFany Ramos Quispe\nBS\, MSc Science Technology and Policy Fellow\, Inter-American Institute for Global Change ResearchSee BioDr. Laila SandroniScience Technology and Policy Fellow\, InterAmerican Institute for Global Change ResearchSee BioRegister Here

SUMMARY:Science shared simply: Quick tools to increase impact\, relevance\, and retention
DESCRIPTION:Watch videoIf your career intersects with science — as researchers\, policy-makers\, or practitioners — then communication is a daily task. Whether your goal is to drive policy change\, engage the public\, or inform the scientific community\, it can be challenging to communicate in a way that resonates with your audience. \nThis workshop will equip you with strategies to proactively craft communications that will meet your objectives. You will leave with tools to identify your communication goals\, simplify your language and messaging\, and appeal to target audiences. When applied to scientific communications\, these approaches will increase the comprehension\, relevance\, retention\, and therefore the impact of your message. \nDr. Cassandra MarionScience Advisor\, Canada Aviation and Space MuseumSee BioRenée-Claude GouletScience Advisor\, Canada Agriculture and Food MuseumSee BioDr. Michelle Campbell MekarskiScience Advisor\, Canada Science and Technology MuseumSee BioSee all CSPC 2023 Virtual Events

SUMMARY:Unlocking nature’s potential: Using genomics for understanding and benefiting from biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Watch videoWhat if the key to the best antibiotic or cancer treatment is hidden at the bottom of the ocean or the depths of a jungle? Could a blockbuster bioproduct be based on species in the Arctic or right under our feet? How can we know if these plant and animal species can adapt to climate change? Which are the necessary public policies and governance models to benefit socially\, environmentally and economically from such solutions? \nThis panel brings together leaders in bioproducts\, a field tackling the climate and environmental challenges of today and tomorrow. Bioproducts refer to products created from materials found in nature. The 2020 McKinsey report titled “The Bio Revolution” supports that the development of these technologies in the next 20 years could have a global economic impact of up to $4 trillion per year. Although biofuels and other industrial bioproducts are already being used by industry\, new technological discoveries are showing that the possibilities are much broader. Harvesting plant and animal species from which medicinal drugs\, biochemicals\, and other commercially valuable material can be created – a process called bioprospecting – is the new frontier. British Columbia and Canada as a whole has comparative advantages and could become globally competitive\, yet the full potential of bioproducts has yet to be harnessed. Policy action is required to unlock the potential so Canadians can enjoy the benefits of the products themselves and of the economic development they can create. \nLooking at examples and solutions at the local\, national\, and international level\, in the private\, public\, and not for profit sectors\, and in Western and Indigenous knowledge systems\, the panel will have an engaging and deep discussion around the use of genomics and how Canada can utilize these technologies for a better future. Lastly\, public perceptions will be discussed and specifically how the uptake of these technologies can be done in an equitable and responsible manner. \nDr. Kelly BannisterCo-Director\, POLIS Project on Ecological Governance\, Centre for Global Studies\, University of VictoriaSee BioDr. Raymond AndersenProfessor\, Department of Chemistry\, Department of Earth Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences\, University of British ColumbiaSee BioDr. Federica Di PalmaChief Scientific Officer and Vice President\, Research and Innovation\, Genome British ColumbiaSee BioGreg BauteSenior Director of Breeding and Genetics at Aurora CannabisSee BioGeorge PoulakidasModerator \nGenomics and Society Advisor\, Genome British ColumbiaSee BioSee all CSPC 2023 Virtual Events

SUMMARY:Canadian Strategies for Responsible Neurotechnology Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Watch videoAdvances in neurotechnology are redefining the possibilities of improving neurologic health and mental wellbeing\, but related ethical\, legal\, and societal concerns such as privacy of brain data\, manipulation of personal autonomy and agency\, and non-medical and dual uses are increasingly pressing concerns. In this regard\, neurotechnology presents challenges not only to Canada’s federal and provincial health care systems\, but to existing laws and regulations that govern responsible innovation. In December 2019\, just before the pandemic\, the OECD Council adopted a Recommendation on Responsible Innovation in Neurotechnology. It is now urging that member states develop right-fit implementation strategies. \nWhat should these strategies look like for Canada? We will propose and discuss opportunities that balance and leverage different professional and governance approaches towards the goal of achieving responsible innovation for the current state of the art\, science\, engineering\, and policy\, and in anticipation of the rapid and vast capabilities expected for neurotechnology in the future by and for this country. \nLink to the full OECD Recommendation on Responsible Innovation in Neurotechnology \nDr. Graeme MoffatNeurotechnology entrepreneur & Senior Fellow\, Munk School of Global Affairs & Public PolicySee BioProfessor Jennifer ChandlerProfessor of Law at the Centre for Health Law\, Policy and Ethics\, University of OttawaSee BioIan BurkhartNeurotech Advocate and Founder of BCI Pioneers CoalitionSee BioAndrew AtkinsonManager\, Emerging Science Policy\, Health CanadaSee BioProfessor Judy IllesModerator \nProfessor\, Division of Neurology\, Department of Medicine\, Faculty of Medicine\, UBCSee BioSee all CSPC 2023 Virtual Events

SUMMARY:La valorisation de la recherche en français
DESCRIPTION:Watch videoDepuis quelques décennies\, l’anglais se positionne comme la langue universelle de la science\, facilitant les échanges sur la sphère internationale. Bien que l’uniformisation de la communication soit essentielle à l’avancement des connaissances sur la scène internationale\, en milieu francophone (minoritaire ou non)\, la science en français est un atout pour développer l’intérêt de la relève et une richesse pour le partage avec la population.\nCe panel se veut une discussion axée sur les outils et les incitatifs disponibles\, ainsi que les enjeux et opportunités pour la science en français. \nJulie DirwimmerSee Bio×Julie DirwimmerTitulaire d’un Master en communication scientifique\, Julie Dirwimmer agit à l’interface entre la science et la société au Québec. Elle a mis en place la programmation grand public du congrès de l’Acfas\, lancé le concours Ma thèse en 180 secondes et conçu les Journées de la relève en recherche. Au bureau du scientifique en chef du Québec\, elle a développé en 2019 le programme Engagement (un programme de sciences participatives) et elle anime aujourd’hui un forum permanent sur les liens entre sciences et politiques publiques au Québec regroupant plus de 1200 personnes.Éric ForguesSee Bio×Éric Forgues\nÉric Forgues a obtenu son doctorat en sociologie à l’Université de Montréal.

Il a enseigné à l’Université de Moncton en sociologie\, en études environnementales et en administration publique. Il a également œuvré au Bureau de soutien à l’innovation de l’Université de Moncton. Depuis 2012\, il est le directeur général de l’Institut canadien de recherche sur les minorités linguistiques\, où il avait été directeur adjoint et chercheur de 2003 à 2012. Ses travaux portent notamment sur le développement des communautés en contexte minoritaire\, la gouvernance\, la prise en compte de la langue dans l’organisation des services publics\, l’engagement linguistique\, et\, depuis peu\, sur les événements culturels\, la mémoire et l’identité en contexte minoritaire. \nSophie MontreuilSee Bio×Sophie Montreuil Sophie Montreuil est détentrice d’une maîtrise de l’Université de Montréal et d’un doctorat et postdoctorat de l’Université McGill. Elle est directrice générale de l’Acfas depuis décembre 2019\, après avoir été directrice de la recherche\, puis cadre supérieure à Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec. Elle a été ou est toujours membre du conseil d’administration de plusieurs organismes et elle a présidé celui du cégep du Vieux-Montréal pendant six ans. Elle a codirigé plusieurs collectifs\, dont Faire connaissance : 100 ans de sciences en français\, paru 2023 aux Éditions Cardinal pour les 100 ans de l’Acfas.
