About the Joint Annual Meeting
Our aim in bringing our two groups together is to foster an exchange of ideas across an expanded reach of disciplines, perspectives and countries -- and to spark the beginning of some novel, potentially unexpected and high-risk cross-disciplinary collaborations that will take your research in directions you wouldn’t ordinarily have the opportunity to explore.
On May 19-21, CIFAR and the Jacobs Foundation will co-host an online discussion platform where you can freely gather, learn more about your peers’ work in other fields, and brainstorm exciting new ideas leading to joint research projects. Teams and partners emerging from these discussions will have the opportunity to compete for a co-funded pool of seed funding valued at up to CDN $50,000 per initiative.
