Our network activities, and partnership development plan, include face-to-face biannual meetings hosted by one of the research partners and institutions.
Each five-day meeting follows a similar intensive format. The partners spend one day on news and business, with the conversation centring on where we are going as a network. We provide an account of whether we have met our target goals set out at prior meetings. We re-acquaint ourselves with each other. Our students have the opportunity to talk and mingle.
The second and third day of these meetings typically involves intensive discussion within the network on current research projects and new developments in related fields.
The fourth day of the meetings involves a day-long symposium where guest speakers from the local community, both internal and external to the University, are invited to present their research.
The fifth and final day of formal conversation and debate involves follow up work and planning on the direction for the team.
Beautiful variations occur. The Montreal meeting featured a film-screening and conversation with Moroccan film-maker Hind Benchekouran on her wonderful film Les tortues ne meurt pas de la viellesse. During the Toronto meeting we experimented in collaborative research lead by Dr. Fernandez-Ardevol, and organized by Dr. Barbara Crow. Sophie Guérin, one of our Research Assistants, presented prototypes from her Masters project on the transition being made by seniors from their homes into a residency. And we also took a road trip to the CCA to present some of the results of our project.
