Engineering Research Days: Empowering Innovation 2021 (June 24 & 25, 2021)

On June 24 and 25, 2021, the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering is launching Engineering Research Days, a new virtual event that will bring together our research community and create opportunities for collaboration. U of T Engineering continues to be Canada’s top-ranked engineering school and consistently ranks in the global top 20. Our faculty are international leaders in their fields, innovative educators and dedicated mentors. U of T Engineering’s research strengths draw students and faculty from all over the world.

This year’s theme of ‘Empowering Innovation’ highlights U of T Engineering’s research accomplishments and spotlight opportunities for collaboration across  faculty, external partners, industry representatives and the broader U of T community. Both the program and platform, Spatial Chat, are designed to foster and encourage interaction in an engaging and collaborative environment.

The program will feature:    

• Interactive fireside chats with keynote speakers 
• Panels on emerging research trends and themes 
• Poster sessions 
• Networking opportunities 

This year’s research themes include:

• Robotics & Autonomy
• Advanced Materials & Manufacturing
• Urban Engineering & Innovative Mobility
• Engineering for Sustainability
• Enabling Engineering through Artificial Intelligence
• Health & Bioengineering
• Electrification in Society
• Computation, Communications & Connectivity

Poster Sessions

We invite faculty members to submit a poster to display and present at the event. The goal is to provide a high-level overview of your lab’s work — with an emphasis on interdisciplinary linkages and opportunities for internal and external collaboration.

The event is open to all students, staff and faculty in U of T Engineering, as well as current and prospective industry partners and key stakeholders across the research ecosystem.
