Workshops and Networking Events

Balancing a graduate program with professional and personal commitments is challenging, but making time to participate in workshops and networking opportunities is a vital part of your graduate school experience. Embrace this time in your life, and make the most of it! Come back often to find information sessions offered by the Tri-Agencies, library, Mitacs and the Office of Graduate Studies.

NSERC Q&A Session (PDF and PGS-Doctoral/CGS-Doctoral)

NSERC is hosting the following question and answer sessions for the CGS M program:

These sessions will be hosted as live Q&A Webex events. They are supported by a series of informational videos available on the NSERC YouTube channel. These videos are intended to completely replace the presentation portion of the NSERC sessions, allowing NSERC and/or tri-agency staff and applicants to engage in a more in-depth and detailed Q&A session than we would normally have time for. Participants should watch the videos in advance and come to the Q&A session with specific questions in mind.

Please attend any of the sessions that best suits your schedule. Registration is not required.
