Overview

As political and cultural tensions escalate south of the border, science is increasingly caught in the crossfire. For many researchers and professionals, Canada is emerging as a haven — a place where scientific collaboration and innovation can thrive.

This gives Canada a unique window of opportunity to attract world-class talent across life sciences. But talent attraction is only the first step.

Join us for a timely panel conversation at our Knowledge and Networking Breakfast exploring:

  • How do we integrate, retain, and support this talent long term?
  • Do we have the infrastructure and policies in place to ensure they succeed?
  • Can we create an ecosystem where both homegrown and international professionals can flourish? 

Speakers

  • Moderator: Mike Cloutier, Chairman, BridgeBright Search and Advisory
  • Alison Evans, VP Policy & Public Affairs, Research Canada
  • Ian Campbell, Senior Partner, Fasken
  • Sidney Reid, COO, Canadian Alliance for Skills and Training in Life Sciences (CASTL)
