Academic Authorship in the Life Sciences Workshop – October 16, 2024

Session Description

U of T’s Division of the Vice-President, Research and Innovation, School of Graduate Studies, and UHN’s Office of the Executive Vice-President, Science and Research are inviting researchers in the life sciences to join us for an in-person, small group educational workshop on Authorship in the Life Sciences. To maximize the opportunity for researchers to attend, there are two dates available for signup; either October 16 or October 23 from 2:30-4:00 pm. The workshop promises to be interactive, engaging and collaborative, and will facilitate important dialogue between research team members.

The workshop will feature participatory small group case study discussions that will spur important conversations on best practices regarding authorship in the life sciences. Registration is open to all researchers, including principal investigators, faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and technical staff.

Please note that in order to facilitate a robust discussion of case studies at the workshop, all attendees must watch a prerecorded 1-hour presentation on key principles around authorship in the life sciences prior to the workshop date. Information on accessing the presentation by Professor Leah Cowen (Vice-President, Research and Innovation and Strategic Initiatives, University of Toronto) will be sent by email after registration.
