Welcome to the 2022 edition of the GEODES Research Day and Symposium.
This event aims to bring together current members of GEODES to exchange research results, ideas, and plans.

The event provides graduate students with an excellent opportunity to hone their presentation skills and to get ready for larger venues (workshops, conferences). This is especially important as life gets back to normal after COVID-19, and scientific events will switch to in-person formats (at least partially).
The series of presentations allows for a hands-on assessment of the balance between the focus areas of the group. Professors and postdocs might want to leverage this opportunity for roadmapping exercises and setting tangible goals for the forthcoming year.
Finally, this event provides permanent members and visiting scholars a structured way of learning about each other's focus areas, research directions and latest results, thereby fostering future collaborations.

  • Format: In person
  • Date: May 17, 2022 at 08:45
  • Location: Campus MIL, Room A-3561. 1375 Ave.Thérèse-Lavoie-Roux, Montréal

Program

The event consists of two distinct parts: the Research Day, and the Symposium.
First, during the Research Day, we will entertain a range of presentations and demos. We kick off at 8h45, and conclude at around 17h.
Then, around 18h, we proceed with the Symposium, an informal get-together

Schedule

  • Flash talks 5 minutes talk + 5 minutes discussion
  • Technical presentations 10 minutes talk + 5 minutes discussion
