Research At Work 1: Policy for Science – Transparency and Inclusion

Session Description

The Toronto Science Policy Network (TSPN) invites you to join the Research At Work, a workshop and networking series designed to teach you about the basics of science policy and connect you with experts engaged in this space in different ways.

The workshop will cover how science is governed and fostered in Canada, and specifically discuss the ways in which policymaking for science functions. Topics that may be covered include open science, scientific integrity, funding, and program development for equity, inclusion, and diversity. The workshop will host two expert speakers, Dr. Mary-Rose Bradley-Gill and Dr. Masha Cemma, who will share their experience in working at NSERC and the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada respectively. Finally, using case studies, attendees will have a chance to engage in the process of developing policy for science.
