OTTAWA, June 7, 2023 – Research Canada is proud to host its 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM) where it will bring together Canada’s health research and health innovation communities to participate in a dynamic meeting with Parliamentarians and stakeholders from our coveted health research and innovation ecosystem.
From presentations on game-changing research on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and pandemic preparedness to a networking luncheon with Parliamentarians, Research Canada will showcase outstanding Canadian health research and its related innovation while diving deep into the work with its Members and Board critical to our fall advocacy efforts. This invitation-only event, sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline Inc.
