What is innovation, apart from an over used buzz word? York's mission begins with "the pursuit, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge" and ends with "York University makes innovation its tradition." But what does this mean in practice at York? This session will use real examples from York and our partners to illustrate that it isn't just about the research we do and the knowledge that we create but what we do with that knowledge and expertise to create positive social, economic and environmental impacts on our local and global communities. That's Innovation York (http://research.info.yorku.ca/innovation-york). That's Innovation at York.
Please RSVP no later than June 28, 2016.
